Ingredients
  

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced $0.16
  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced $2.37
  • 2 Tbsp butter $0.20
  • 1/8 tsp salt $0.01
  • 1/8 tsp freshly cracked pepper $0.02
  • 8 oz. fettuccine* $0.59
  • 2.5 cups vegetable broth $0.20
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream** $0.98
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan $0.44

Equipment

  • Deep skillet or Dutch oven
  • Sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Mince the garlic and slice the mushrooms.
  2. In a deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for one minute, just until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Keep cooking until the mushrooms are tender, most of the liquid has evaporated, and they start to brown.
  4. Place the fettuccine directly in the skillet. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir everything to combine. It’s fine if the broth doesn’t fully cover the pasta.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. When the pasta is tender and there’s a little liquid left in the skillet, stir in the heavy cream.
  7. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the Parmesan over the top, and stir until melted and incorporated.
  8. Taste and adjust with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use a skillet or pot that matches the size of your burner for even cooking.
