Pasta
- 4 ounces uncooked pasta
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth or white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice + zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Boil a salted pot of water and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their water and it evaporates, then continue cooking until the mushrooms and onions get a good sear and caramelize, about 10 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Mustard: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Cook for about one minute until fragrant.
- Deglaze Pan: Add the broth along with the lemon juice and lemon zest. Let it bubble and reduce for about one minute.
- Finish Sauce: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
- Toss Pasta and Serve: Before draining pasta, add a splash of the hot pasta water (a couple tablespoons) to the skillet. Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can stretch this recipe to feed 4 people by increasing the amount of pasta; however, the mushrooms and onions will take longer to properly sear due to the larger quantity.
