Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Boil the water

    Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. Cook the pasta

    Drop the pasta into the boiling water and let it cook for 8 to 10 minutes, following the time on the package. Drain it in the colander without rinsing.

  3. Chop the onion

    Peel the onion and dice it small on the cutting board.

  4. Cook the onion

    Heat the oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook it for 3 minutes until translucent.

    Tip · If the onion starts browning too fast, turn the heat down and add a little water to the skillet so it doesn't burn.
  5. Add the mushrooms

    Wash the mushrooms, slice them and add them to the skillet with the onion. Let them cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring now and then.

  6. Toss with the pasta

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the mushrooms and onion. Add the cream and season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the pasta.

    Tip · For a silkier texture, let it simmer 1 to 2 minutes longer over low heat after adding the cream.
  7. Serve hot

    Divide the pasta among plates and serve right away.
