Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 4 ounces of your chosen dry pasta and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, add ½ finely chopped onion and 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and ½ teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Pour in ¼ cup of broth (or wine), followed by the lemon juice and zest. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Incorporate the reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches your desired creaminess.
- Toss the drained pasta into the skillet with the sauce, mixing well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
