Tagliatelle with White Sauce and Mushrooms

We start preparing this delicious mushroom and cream pasta recipe by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. It is important to add a teaspoon of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the pasta. We cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, being careful not to leave them too long, so they remain al dente, meaning slightly firm to the bite.

In the meantime, we take care of the aromatic ingredients. We take fresh mushrooms, wash them well under cold running water, and slice them thinly for even cooking. We peel the onion, cutting it into small pieces, and then turn our attention to the garlic clove. Using the blade of a knife, we gently crush it to release the flavors, then chop it finely. The garlic will add an intense and savory flavor to our dish.

In a deep skillet, we add a generous tablespoon of olive oil, which will enhance the flavor. When the oil is well heated, we add the chopped onion and garlic. We let them sauté over medium heat for about a minute, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Then, it’s time to add the sliced mushrooms, which will absorb the flavors and soften. We sprinkle a little salt and a teaspoon of oregano, which will give the dish a Mediterranean flavor. We continue cooking the mixture over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent and the mushrooms are nicely browned.

Once the pasta is cooked, we drain it well and add it to the skillet, carefully mixing to combine it evenly with the mushrooms. We let everything cook for a minute to meld the flavors, then we add the cream. It is essential to mix everything well, so the cream coats the pasta in a creamy and delicious sauce. We reduce the heat and let it simmer on low, allowing the sauce to thicken and become richer in flavors.

It is important to serve the pasta hot to enjoy their velvety texture and the intense flavor of the mushrooms and cream. We garnish the plate with a little freshly chopped parsley for a color contrast and a touch of freshness. This simple yet flavorful recipe will surely delight all taste buds!
