2 – 3 Servings

Preparation:

1.) Preheat a wide pan with 4 tablespoons of oil over low – medium heat. Begin by frying the diced onions until they turn lightly golden. Be careful though, because this is the aroma that starts drawing everyone to the kitchen. Add the sliced mushrooms and fry for another 3 – 4 minutes, stirring
occasionally.

2.) Add the crushed garlic, seasonings (salt, black pepper, and a little nutmeg, if you want), and the cooking cream. If the sauce appears too thick and you prefer a slightly thinner consistency, you may add a little bit milk.
–
3.) Cook the sauce for a few minutes over low – medium heat. Meanwhile, make the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it directly into the cream sauce.
–
4.) Mix thoroughly for only one minute, allowing the pasta to fully absorb all of the wonderful flavors. Immediately turn the heat off.
–
5.) Finely chop fresh chives or parsley and sprinkle generously on top before serving. Don’t forget to grate some Parmesan cheese!

Tip:
Add the cooking water: Add 3 – 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. The starch in the water will help thicken the sauce, creating a perfectly creamy texture that “clings” to the pasta.
