Mushroom, Wine and Cheese Pasta



This is sinfully delicious. It tastes like fettuccini alfredo only better.









Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. While pasta is cooking melt butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until just colored about 5 min. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add wine and simmer until reduced by about half . Stir in cream and simmer gently until just thickened- about 2 minutes. Drain pasta reserving about a 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the sauce stir in about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. Add pasta water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with additional parmesan cheese.

1 pound dried fettuccini
2 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil
1 clove of garlic minced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
