A delightful pasta dish combining the earthy flavors of mushrooms with a creamy herb-infused sauce.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the oil to prevent sticking.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic, then sauté them in the skillet until softened.
Cook the onion until translucent for a sweeter flavor.
Slice the mushrooms and add them to the skillet, cooking until they release their moisture and become golden.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure the mushrooms brown properly.
Stir in the cream and blue cheese, letting the cheese melt into the sauce.
Keep the heat low to prevent the cream from curdling.
Season the sauce with black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Combine the pasta with the sauce, mixing well to coat evenly.
Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Serve the pasta topped with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
