  1. To prepare Farfalle with Cream and Mushrooms, start by cleaning the mushrooms. Wipe them with a clean kitchen cloth to remove any soil residue, trim them with a mushroom knife, and slice them.
  2. Take a non-stick pan and melt the butter in extra virgin olive oil. Once the butter has melted, sauté the garlic in the pan.
  3. Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté them over high heat for a few minutes. Remove the garlic clove.
  4. Season with salt, add a sprinkle of black pepper, pour in the heavy cream and continue cooking until the mushrooms are fully cooked.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the farfalle pasta in plenty of salted boiling water and drain when still al dente (firm to the bite).
  6. Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce, stir to combine, and toss until all ingredients are perfectly cooked.
  7. Add some torn fresh basil leaves, sprinkle with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to taste, and serve the Farfalle with Cream and Mushrooms while hot! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
