The mushrooms were delicious in this fabulous creamy sauce, just amazing, creamy alfredo with lots of mushrooms and the fettuccine pasta so tender.
This is not a dieter's dish.
The little pink color in this dish was added tomato paste, which was a perfect addition to the color and taste of this dish. Served with plenty of long shreds on top of grating cheese, lots of garlic toast and antipasto salad will be a perfect meal!
2 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
1 large portobello mushrooms, sliced
2 clove finely minced garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons pecorino romano cheese grated in long shreds more for garnish
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon of tomato paste
freshly ground pepper
12 ounces dry or (fresh preferred) fettuccine pasta
Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in butter for (around 5 minutes) add garlic after three minutes in olive oil over low heat. Mix in tomato paste, butter, heavy cream, cream cheese; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, and simmer while stirring until cream cheese has melted and mixture has thickened.
Drain pasta. Pour sauce over pasta, and toss with cheese to coat. Serve with freshly cracked black pepper and more grating cheese.
I love mushrooms! This is a wonderful meal!!

Beautiful dish, so creamy and tasteful! I hear that Mr Alfredo created this dish for his pregnant wife because she couldn't keep anything down in the first trimester. Thank you Mr Alfredo for giving the world such a beautiful dish!

Oooh, fettucine Alfredo is my favorite type of pasta. I love hoe creamy your dish looks, and the different types of mushrooms you used. "This is not a sisters dish." lol. I love that! For me, the creamier the better, exactly like yours. Wonderful dish! Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeletethis is great,claudia,i love mushrooms and cream addition,a delicious meal!
ReplyDeleteLove using a variety of mushrooms - and it pairs so well with the creamy cheese sauce. I could - almost leave out the pasta. Almost.
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms and you have a great mix of them here! Your fettuccine dish looks delicious! I so agree with how difficult it is to cook in another kitchen!
ReplyDeleteAn old Italian family I used to live with had an amazing cook for their Don - his father had a restaurant in Brooklyn, so he grew up learning the trade. Anyway, he made homemade alfrado with anchovies....and it was the best alfredo sauce I've ever tasted. Have you ever heard of any other Italians doing that?

@katherine never have had this with anchovies sounds like it would be very different was it salty?
Oh, that looks just amazing! I love making pasta dishes like this. And recreating something you've had somewhere special is even better. I spend most summers cooking in other people's kitchens. It is hard to do! Hope the remodel goes well!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of recreating it Claudia! It looks creamy and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful take on Fettuccine Alfredo. Love the addition of all of those mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you started venturing out to share great dish memories from your cruise. Judging by the ingredients...I think you have succeeded ;o)
ReplyDeleteFlavourful wishes,
Claudia
Now that is some comfort food for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible to go wrong with pasta and mushrooms. This looks wonderful, even if you had to cook it in someone elses kitchen!
