A vegetarian take on classic carbonara, featuring creamy, rich flavors of sautéed mushrooms and garlic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking your spaghetti or fettuccine according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Drain well and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  2. Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Introduce the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine with Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly and begins to bubble.
  5. Stir in Parmesan: Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Toss in the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until every strand is coated. Adjust consistency with a splash of pasta water if too thick.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over medium-low heat.
