Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 head of garlic
- 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the roasted garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine and sautéed mushrooms to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
