Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more as needed

  • 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 2 cloves minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or more as needed

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons spreadable cheese with cracked pepper (such as Boursin)

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1 cup pasta water.

  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; cook and stir until reaches a simmer. Stir in flour, stirring constantly, until any are lumps smoothed out. Season with salt and black pepper; stirring constantly. Stir in cream, then stir in cheese and nutmeg, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent lumps and sticking. You may need to reduce heat to low and add more butter.

  3. Stir in linguine, adding splashes of reserved pasta water until reaches desired sauce consistency.

Cook's Note:

Feel free to use milk instead of cream.
