A delightful pasta dish featuring a creamy garlic mushroom sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a smoother sauce.
Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the mushrooms, basil, salt, and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are tender.
Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.
Stir in the remaining butter and olive oil, then remove from heat.
This step adds richness and a glossy finish to the sauce.
Combine the sauce with the cooked linguine, adding parsley and Parmesan cheese.
Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy garlic mushroom pasta.
Garnish with extra Parmesan and parsley for a professional touch.
