Mushroom Parmesan Pasta

Instructions

1. 1
   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
3. 3
   Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. 4
   Pour in wine (or broth), scraping the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
5. 5
   Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in cream and let bubble gently for 2-3 minutes. Add Parmesan and stir until smooth and creamy.
6. 6
   Add drained pasta to the skillet. Toss well to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until sauce is silky.
7. 7
   Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately, topped with more Parmesan, fresh parsley, and lemon zest if desired.
