INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍝 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
    • 🍄 ¾ pound fresh white mushrooms, sliced
    • 🍄 ¼ pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

  • Seasonings & Sauces

    • 🧂 Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 fluid ounces sherry
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
    • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh chives
    • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
    • 🧀 9 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

  • Cooking Oils

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

STEPS

1

Gather the ingredients.

2

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain but do not rinse pasta; transfer to a large serving bowl and keep warm.

3

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir white and shiitake mushrooms in hot oil with a pinch of salt until liquid from mushrooms evaporates and mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes.

4

Stir garlic into mushrooms and cook for 1 minute; pour in sherry and cook until wine is nearly evaporated. Stir in chicken stock; season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

5

Pour cream into mushroom mixture, stir to combine, and simmer for 5 minutes. Mixture will foam and thicken slightly.

6

Stir thyme, chives, and tarragon into mushroom sauce and turn off heat; mix 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into sauce until cheese is melted.

7

Pour 1/2 of the mushroom sauce over pasta; toss to coat. Top with remaining mushroom sauce and 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
