Ingredients
  • 1 pound Fettuccine
  • 1 pound Mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 4 oz Brie cheese, diced
  • 6 tablespoon Butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  1. 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2
    In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  3. 3
    Add the chopped onion and sauté until pale gold and tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    Increase heat to high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and the butter is absorbed.
  5. 5
    Turn heat to low, add salt and pepper to taste, and shake the pan occasionally. Cook until liquid comes to the surface, then increase heat to high and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
  6. 6
    Add half of the heavy cream to the mushroom mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring gently, then remove from heat. Set aside.
  7. 7
    In a separate large skillet or pan large enough to hold all the pasta, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  8. 8
    Add the remaining half of the heavy cream and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  9. 9
    Add the cooked fettuccine to the cream and butter mixture. Toss vigorously until the pasta is fully coated.
  10. 10
    Add the diced brie cheese to the pasta and continue tossing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  11. 11
    Stir in half of the mushroom mixture, tossing to combine evenly.
  12. 12
    Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or warm pasta bowls.
  13. 13
    Make a depression in the center of the pasta and spoon the remaining mushroom mixture on top. Serve immediately.

Note

For best results, bring the brie cheese to room temperature before dicing so it melts smoothly into the sauce.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.

This dish is best served immediately while hot and creamy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to restore texture.

Variations: Try adding fresh thyme leaves or a splash of white wine to the mushroom mixture for extra depth of flavor.
