Fettuccine with mushrooms in creamy sauce is an elegant dish of Italian cuisine that combines tender pasta with rich mushroom flavor. Italians appreciate it for its simplicity and exquisite aroma. The creamy sauce infused with garlic notes gently envelops the fettuccine, creating a harmonious blend of textures. The cream adds a velvety touch, while the mushrooms provide a pleasant earthy flavor. It's an ideal option for a cozy dinner that can be enhanced with grated Parmesan and basil for extra zest. Fettuccine with mushrooms is suitable for both everyday lunch and special occasions when you want to enjoy comforting and refined gastronomy.
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.
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
- Olive oil: to taste
- Garlic: 3 cloves

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.
- Button mushrooms: 300 g
- Onion: 1 piece
- Salt: to taste
- Ground black pepper: to taste
- Single cream 10% fat: 300 ml

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.

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.
- Fettuccine: 400 g
- Salt: to taste
- Olive oil: to taste

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