Easy Mushroom Pasta from the Mario Bros Movie
Creamy Mushroom Pasta inspired by the Mario Brothers Movie, featuring sautéed onions, sliced mushrooms, and a flavorful sauce.
Equipment
- pasta spoon
Ingredients
- 4 servings linguine (or tagliatelle), cooked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion finely chopped
- 4-6 baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese + more for topping
- 2 cups fresh Italian flat leaf parsley finely chopped, separated into 1 cup(s)
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cook the linguine noodles according to the instructions on the package. Before draining, reserve one cup of the pasta water.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the onions, mushrooms, garlic, and red pepper flakes for 5-8 minutes or until the onions are just beginning to soften.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, stirring while the wine cooks off. When the wine is reduced by half, add in half of the parsley and the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the spoon leaves a clean trail through the skillet and the wine has almost completely cooked off, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add the reserved pasta water to the skillet along with the heavy cream. Bring to a light simmer while stirring occasionally until the sauce is just starting to thicken, about 5 more minutes.
- Reduce the skillet temperature to medium-low. Stir the cooked pasta noodles into the sauce. Toss and fold until the pasta is completely coated in the sauce. Add the remaining parsley to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Serve right away with grated Parmesan for topping. For a true "Mario-style" pasta, pick out all of the mushrooms just prior to eating. Enjoy!
