Ingredients
Instructions
Cook pasta in well-salted water until just under al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and toss in butter and oil. Leave undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, turning once or twice to brown evenly.
Reduce heat slightly, add garlic and herbs; cook 1 minute without browning garlic. Season with salt.
Add white wine and simmer until reduced (~3 minutes).
Stir in cream and mix well, keeping a gentle simmer (do not boil).
Push mushrooms to one side of the pan; gradually add Parmesan in 2–3 additions, stirring to melt each time.
Add lemon juice and black pepper; whisk quickly.
Let sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened but still saucy.
Add pasta and olives (if using) to the pan, toss gently. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen sauce.
Stir in parsley and serve topped with extra Parmesan, lemon zest, and cracked pepper.
