Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 12 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook farfalle pasta according to package directions in salted water. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  3. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 7–8 minutes until softened and golden brown.
  5. Pour in the white wine (if using) and let simmer for 2–3 minutes until reduced.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  7. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  8. Toss in the cooked farfalle pasta and mix until fully coated in the creamy mushroom sauce.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms for added depth of flavor.
  • Substitute white wine with vegetable broth if preferred.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
