Ingredients

• Kosher salt
• 8 oz. linguine (or your favorite pasta)
• 1/4 c. pasta cooking water
• 3 T. salted butter
• 4 oz. Cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 4 oz. Portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 4 oz. white mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 shallot, diced
• 3/4 c. heavy cream
• 1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
• 1 T. freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1. Bring a pot of well salted water to a boil; add the linguine; cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 c. pasta cooking water; drain. Set pasta and pasta water aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add the mushrooms and garlic; cook until the mushrooms have browned, about 3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
3. Add the cream and Parmesan cheese; bring to a simmer. Add the pasta and the reserved pasta cooking water; toss together, allowing the sauce to thicken, about 2 minutes. Season with the pepper; toss.
