Ingredients

• Fettuccine pasta: 400 g
• Champignons: 300 g
• Cream 10%: 300 ml
• Onion: 1 pc
• Butter: 2 tbsp
• Garlic: 3 clove
• Salt: to taste
• Olive oil: to taste

Cooking steps

1. Add butter and a small amount of olive oil to the pan; when the butter melts, add garlic (preferably slightly crushed with a knife) and sauté for 3 minutes, then remove the garlic.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 2 tablespoons
   • Olive oil:  to taste
   • Garlic: 3 cloves

2. Sliced mushrooms are placed in a pan. Fry the mushrooms until all the juice evaporates — they should start to brown, then add chopped onion. Fry the mushrooms and onion until golden, then season with salt and pepper to taste and add cream.

   Required ingredients:

   • Champignons: 300 g
   • Onion: 1 piece
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste
   • Cream 10%: 300 ml

3. Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat. Keep in mind that your sauce should not be too thick. If it is, add a little boiled water to the sauce and simmer for a couple more minutes.

4. At this time, we cook the fettuccine in salted water until al dente (slightly undercooked); you can add any other pasta you like. It's better to add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil to the water to prevent the pasta from sticking.

   Required ingredients:

   • Fettuccine pasta: 400 g
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Olive oil:  to taste

5. Once the fettuccine is cooked, drain it in a colander. You can add a little butter.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 2 tablespoons

6. Place the pasta on a plate and pour sauce on top. For extra flavor, you can sprinkle the finished dish with grated parmesan and dried basil.
