  • 500 grams penne pasta
  • 300 ml cooking or heavy cream
  • 2 cups swiss brown mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup pecorino cheese grated
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to packet instructions in a large saucepan of salted water. Drain and set aside.
  • In a medium pan over low heat, add olive oil, butter and garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Cook the mushrooms in batches to prevent a watery sauce and to allow them to cook evenly. Be careful not to burn them. Cook only until they turn golden brown.
  • Reduce to low heat, add pasta and stir through. Add cream and stir to combine, making sure the mushrooms and pasta are coated.
  • Turn the heat off and add the cheeses, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Serve with extra parmesan cheese. ENJOY!
