Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients For the Pasta:
  • 12 oz 340g pasta (preferably tagliatelle or pappardelle)
  • Salt for boiling water
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz 225g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Pasta
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
  • Prepare the Sauce
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms.
  • Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened.
  • Create the Creamy Base
  • Pour in the heavy cream.
  • Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. This will create a luscious sauce that coats the pasta beautifully.
  • Stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine Pasta and Sauce
  • Drain the cooked pasta.
  • Reserve a small cup of the pasta water in case you need to thin out the sauce later.
  • Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce.
  • Toss gently to combine, ensuring every strand of pasta is coated in the creamy goodness. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Serve
  • Plate the Pasta alla Savoiarda.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and more grated cheese if desired.
