For a richer flavor, consider using a blend of wild mushrooms. A splash of dry white wine added to the mushrooms as they sauté can enhance the depth of flavor. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference, depending on the tartness of the lemon. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for its superior flavor and texture. To make this dish vegan, use a plant-based cream alternative, vegan butter, and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
02
StepWhile the pasta cooks, melt butter with olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they are golden brown, tender, and have released their moisture, adjusting heat as needed. (Approximately 8-10 minutes). Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03
StepPour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and juice, blending the flavors. Incorporate 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
04
StepAdd the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Toss gently to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you achieve a luscious, creamy consistency that clings beautifully to the pasta.
05
StepServe immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh minced parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
