Delicious Mushroom Alfredo

Submitted by DomDem

"I looked everywhere for a good mushroom alfredo. I used to saute the mushrooms and add them in, but they just weren't as good as I hoped. After some experimentation I came up with this recipe for my Mother-in-Law's birthday party and it was unbelievable. Everyone loved it! I served it over tortellini, but generally I'll just serve it over wheat pasta noodles."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup sweet butter (halved)
• 2 cups portabella mushrooms or 2 cups cremini mushrooms
• 2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small white onion (optional)
• 4 cups heavy cream
• 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 16 ounces thin spaghetti noodles (optional)

directions

1. Melt half the butter in medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
2. Add the garlic, onion, and mushroom and sauté until the liquid is released. 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the remaining butter, cream, and white pepper and bring mixture to a simmer.
4. Stir often.
5. Begin your noodles or tortellini at this point so everything will be done at the same time.

7. When sauce has thickened add the Parmesan cheese and stir frequently until smooth. Remove from heat when sauce has reached desired consistency.

You are right it is delicious! I had two bowlfuls and craving for more! My picky four year old son liked it also!
