Tagliatelle ai Funghi is a rich and comforting Italian pasta dish featuring tender tagliatelle tossed in a savory mushroom sauce. Made with a mix of earthy mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and a touch of cream or broth, it’s a quick and elegant meal that’s perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz tagliatelle pasta (fresh or dried)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot or small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 10 oz mixed mushrooms (cremini, porcini, shiitake, or button), sliced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tagliatelle until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot (if using), and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for 8–10 minutes until browned and moisture has evaporated.
  4. Deglaze with white wine (if using) and simmer until mostly evaporated, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Stir in cream or broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Add cooked tagliatelle and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water gradually to loosen the sauce if needed.
  7. Stir in Parmesan cheese if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free cream and omit Parmesan.
  • Use a mix of fresh and dried mushrooms for deeper flavor—rehydrate dried mushrooms and use their soaking liquid.
  • Don’t overcrowd mushrooms in the pan to ensure proper browning.
  • Serve with garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
