Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make this delicious fettuccine dish.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, add the fettuccine and cook it until it’s perfectly al dente, which should take about 8 minutes.
Step 4
After cooking, drain the pasta but resist the urge to rinse it; instead, transfer it to a large serving bowl and keep it warm while you prepare the sauce.
Step 5
While the pasta is cooking, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Toss in the sliced white and shiitake mushrooms along with a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Sauté the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they turn a lovely golden brown and their liquid has evaporated, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 8
Next, add the minced garlic to the skillet and let it cook for about a minute, allowing that wonderful aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 9
Pour in the sherry and let it simmer until the wine has nearly evaporated, enhancing the flavor of your sauce.
Step 10
Now, stir in the chicken stock and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 11
Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 12
It’s time to make the sauce creamy! Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine everything beautifully.
Step 13
Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and develop a delightful foam.
Step 14
Once your sauce is ready, add the chopped thyme, chives, and tarragon, then turn off the heat.
Step 15
Mix in half a cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stirring until it melts into the sauce, creating a rich and flavorful blend.
Step 16
Now, pour half of this luscious mushroom sauce over the warm fettuccine and toss it gently to coat every strand.
Step 17
Top it off with the remaining sauce and sprinkle a tablespoon of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 18
Serve it up and enjoy a comforting bowl of creamy fettuccine that’s sure to impress!.
