Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Creamy Taleggio and Mushroom Pasta:

  • 12 oz pasta (such as fettuccine, tagliatelle, or pappardelle)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 oz mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms), sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz Taleggio cheese, cubed
  • ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Pasta:

  1. Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water for later. Set the pasta aside.

Make the Mushroom Sauce:

  1. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and soft, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated.
  3. Add the Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable (or chicken) broth. Stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Add the Taleggio Cheese:

  1. Melt the Taleggio: Add the cubed Taleggio cheese to the skillet, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Combine the Pasta and Sauce:

  1. Toss the Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing it gently in the creamy mushroom sauce until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Serve: Divide the pasta among plates, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
