Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh tagliatelle pasta
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup, freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz fresh tagliatelle pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente, then drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Step 2: While pasta cooks, heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 10 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden and their moisture evaporates.
- Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves to mushrooms; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping any browned bits from the pan, and simmer for 3 minutes until the wine reduces by half.
- Step 5: Lower heat to medium, stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter until melted, then add drained pasta and 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Toss to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the tagliatelle.
- Step 6: Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then sprinkle 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top. Toss once more and serve immediately.
