Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.75 pound fresh white mushrooms, sliced
  • 0.25 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 fluid ounces sherry
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • 9 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain but do not rinse pasta; transfer to a large serving bowl and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir white and shiitake mushrooms in hot oil with a pinch of salt until liquid from mushrooms evaporates and mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir garlic into mushrooms and cook for 1 minute; pour in sherry and cook until wine is nearly evaporated. Stir in chicken stock; season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour cream into mushroom mixture, stir to combine, and simmer for 5 minutes. Mixture will foam and thicken slightly.
  • Stir thyme, chives, and tarragon into mushroom sauce and turn off heat; mix 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into sauce until cheese is melted.
  • Pour 1/2 of the mushroom sauce over pasta; toss to coat. Top with remaining mushroom sauce and 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
