Ingredients
Scale
300g pasta (fettuccine or linguine work well)
200g fresh oyster mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream (or substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Red pepper flakes, for a spicy kick (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta – Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms – While your pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced oyster mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce – Pour the heavy cream (or coconut milk) into the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and allow it to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 4: Combine Everything – Once the sauce is ready, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce. If using, stir in Parmesan cheese now, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish – Plate your creamy oyster mushroom pasta while it’s hot, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy the creamy richness, enhanced by the earthy flavors of the mushrooms!
