Mushroom pasta is a classic dish featuring sautéed mushrooms in a creamy, flavorful sauce, combined with perfectly cooked pasta. Mary Berry’s version uses fresh ingredients and simple techniques to create a satisfying, restaurant-quality meal at home.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the double cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and half of the chopped parsley. Toss again until everything is evenly combined.
Divide the pasta among serving plates and garnish with the remaining parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
