• four tablespoons of olive oil 

• four tablespoons of butter

• one teaspoon of pepper 

• 1 pound of spaghetti 

• two tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped 

• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

The Sauce

For this 15-minute pasta dish, you'll need a few ingredients to make the sauce.  Once the oil is hot, add some garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for about one minute, constantly stirring to prevent the garlic from burning. Add a can of diced tomatoes and some paste, salt, pepper and oregano to the pan. Finally, stir in some fresh basil and Parmesan cheese for an added depth of flavour. Your sauce is now ready! 

All that's left to do is to cook your pasta. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add your favourite pasta (I like penne). Cook your pasta according to package instructions, then drain and return it to the pot. Pour your delicious sauce over your cooked pasta and mix everything. This 15-minute pasta dish is now ready to serve! Top with some extra Parmesan cheese and more freshly chopped basil if desired.

The Pasta

To make this delicious 15-minute pasta, you'll need a pound of your favourite type of pasta – penne, fusilli, or even spaghetti. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid for later. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, please return it to the pot and add the reserved cooking liquid.

Next, add your sauce to the pasta and stir to combine. Make sure all the pasta is evenly coated with sauce. You can also add some extra seasoning to taste, such as salt and pepper or dried oregano. Let the pasta simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the pasta completely absorbs the sauce and everything is hot and bubbly.

And there you have it – 15-minute pasta that will make you feel like an Italian millionaire! Serve it in a bowl with freshly grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or basil. Enjoy!

Garnish and Serve

Once your sauce is done, and your pasta is cooked, it's time to serve! Transfer the cooked pasta to a large bowl and add a few spoons of the creamy mushroom sauce. Stir everything together to combine. Sprinkle some freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Serve the creamy mushroom pasta immediately with crusty bread or a simple green salad. Enjoy this restaurant-quality dish with friends and family for a luxurious Italian meal. Buon appetito! This 15-minute Italian pasta will be sure to impress. Not only does it look like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it tastes like you hired a professional chef. The combination of cream, mushrooms, garlic, herbs, and Parmigiano Reggiano create a flavour that can't be beaten. 

Plus, this dish comes together in no time, making it perfect for busy weeknights when you need dinner on the table fast. And best of all, it's easily customizable depending on what type of mushrooms you have handy. For example, use crimini mushrooms for a more earthy flavour, shiitake for an umami kick, oyster for texture, or porcini for intense nuttiness. If you don't have access to any mushroom, try using frozen peas instead. They provide a similar texture and make the dish just as delicious.
