Cheesy Mushroom-Thyme Fettuccine
Inspired by the fettuccine con funghi we tasted in Italy, we developed this recipe for creating a quick yet elegant dinner using supermarket ingredients. Be sure to use dried fettuccine or pappardelle made with egg; this type typically is sold coiled into nests in 8.8-ounce (250-gram) packages. The texture of egg pasta is finer and more delicate than all-semolina pasta. Woodsy thyme is the classic herb for pairing with mushrooms; we add it in two stages for layered flavor. The aged, subtly sweet notes of brandy pair beautifully with the earthy creminis; dry sherry also works well.

Tip
Don’t use pre-sliced cremini mushrooms. They tend to be dry and cardboardy, and we count on the mushrooms’ release of their own moisture to build flavor into the dish.

cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
2
medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Directions
-
01In a large pot, boil 3 quarts water. In a 12-inch skillet over medium, combine the oil, garlic, half of the thyme and pepper flakes (if using). Cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the brandy. Return to medium-high and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is syrupy, about 1 minute.

so worth it! outstanding flavors. I would serve to guests. definitely a keeper
took 30 minutes prep time and 20 minutes standing over the stove. I like that there is no heavy cream. Minimal ingredients yield an outstanding dish. Ridiculously delicious!
