Ingredients

Scale

Pasta and Mushrooms

  • 250g fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta
  • 200g fresh cremini or shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Sauce Ingredients

  • 100g Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 150ml heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1–2 tsp truffle oil (to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: freshly shredded Parmesan or Pecorino cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine or tagliatelle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve some pasta water for later use.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Create the creamy Gorgonzola sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream. Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and gently stir until the cheese melts completely, creating a velvety sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce and help it cling to the noodles.
  5. Finish with truffle oil and parsley: Drizzle truffle oil over the pasta and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Toss gently and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Choose authentic Gorgonzola cheese for the best flavor balance of creaminess and tang.
  • Do not overcook mushrooms; cook until just caramelized to preserve texture and deepen flavor.
  • Add reserved pasta water gradually to adjust sauce consistency without making it watery.
  • Use truffle oil sparingly and add it at the end to preserve its aromatic qualities.
  • Fresh parsley provides brightness that balances the richness of the sauce.
  • To keep leftover pasta creamy, stir in some cream or milk before refrigeration.
  • Freeze pasta and sauce separately for better texture if freezing is necessary.
  • For reheating, warm gently over low heat with a splash of cream or pasta water.
