1 Lemon Zest only
200 g Parmesan Grated

Creating a Flavourful Base

Begin by heating a combination of oil and butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Maintain a gentle, low heat and sauté finely chopped onions for approximately 10 minutes. Continue until the onions soften and achieve a translucent appearance.

Elevating with Mushrooms and Wine

Introduce the mushrooms to the saucepan, turning up the heat to medium. Allow the mushrooms to cook for roughly 10 minutes, ensuring they develop a rich, golden-brown hue. Afterward, incorporate finely minced garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in a measure of white wine, and bring it to a gentle simmer, patiently reducing the liquid by half.

Infusing Creaminess and Flavour

With the foundation set, add double cream to the mixture. Gradually heat it to a gentle simmer, taking care not to boil excessively. At this point, introduce the zesty brightness of lemon zest and the rich complexity of Parmesan cheese. Season the sauce generously with salt and a liberal sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper.

Preparing the Pasta and Bringing It All Together

In a separate pot, cook your chosen pasta according to the package instructions. Prior to draining, remember to reserve approximately 100ml of the pasta water. Now, combine the cooked pasta with the luscious creamy sauce directly in the saucepan. Utilise the reserved pasta water as needed to attain your desired consistency, ensuring the sauce beautifully coats the pasta. Finish by gently folding in fresh parsley for a burst of colour and flavour.
