Mushroom Gruyere Pasta

Mushroom Gruyere Pasta is a creamy and comforting dish featuring sautéed mushrooms and melted Gruyere cheese tossed with tender pasta for a rich, savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or linguine)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 12 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the white wine, if using, and simmer until mostly evaporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it gently simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Add the grated Gruyere cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  8. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
  9. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until evenly coated.
  10. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
