10 minute recipe. That’s all you need. Just 10 minutes to create the best, most delicious, and super creamy garlic mushroom tagliatelle pasta.
This recipe is perfect for quick dinners, date nights, or dinner for one. Easy to make and easy to follow along with.
It will be on your table within 10 minutes including prep. So its perfect for those lazy nights when you still want something tasty to eat, but don’t want to deal with the hassle of cooking for hours.
I love this recipe, for many reasons. Firstly, mushrooms are delicious. Secondly, pasta is life.
Together they work perfectly. It works great for any occasion. With it being so easy and quick to make, you could easily whip it up for a large group of people or party (if you’re lucky enough to have that many friends that is) Great for families as well. Kids love it just make sure to burn off that wine, adults love it, fussy eaters love it. You cant go wrong.
Date night or dining alone.
It works wonderfully for both options. One thing you don’t want to be doing on a date night is spending an hour stressing over a stove. Wondering why your slow roasted Vietnamese lamb shanks don’t look like the photos on your recipe card. With this taking less then 10 minutes it means more time for that special one on one time with your significant other.
The same goes for dining alone. You just want to sit back and binge watch the the entire series of tiger king or whatever is big on Netflix at the time. You don’t want to be sweating in a kitchen.
Quick doesn’t mean it taste less delicious then a slow cooked meal by the way. Keep that in mind. This recipe takes less then 10 minutes to prep and cook, yet is one of my favourite dishes to make.

My recipes are all about being quick and easy. So enjoy.

What is tagliatelle
Tagliatelle is a traditional Italian pasta. Individual tagliatelle are long and flat ribbon shapes (Think spaghetti that has been ran over)
The name tagliatelle stems from the traditional way of making these pasta ribbons. This is usually done by rolling out the dough into fairly thin sheets and cutting (tagliare in Italian) ribbons from them by hand.
Tagliatelle is an egg pasta. Made by combining flour and eggs with oil.
Its similar in shape and taste to fettuccine. The difference being fettuccine is thinner then tagliatelle.
Cooking Tips
Cook the tagliatelle pasta 1 minute less then cooking instructions. If it says 3 minutes, cook for 2. The pasta will cook the rest of the way in the garlic mushroom sauce.
Don’t pile up the mushroom on top of each other in the pan. Spread them out so they all have surface contact with the hot pan to allow them to cook fully. It helps if you have a wide pan like this.
No Parmesan? no worries. The Parmesan cheese is an optional addition. The dish works perfectly without it. It just adds a bit of extra flavour for us cheese lovers. If you don’t have Parmesan or are vegetarian. Finely grated mature cheddar will do fine.
Recipe Variations
Try whichever mushrooms you like. But to really add a bit of fancy attitude to your tagliatelle try adding a variety of different mushrooms.
Don’t like tagliatelle? Then why are you here? Like, seriously, how did you get to this part of this recipe if you don’t even like tagliatelle, without exiting out?
No but seriously. You can try this with different forms of pasta, and not just pasta similar to tagliatelle like linguine or fettuccine.
You can add gnocchi, rigatoni, ravioli, penne. They will all work just as good. If you’ve already tried this recipe with tagliatelle, why not try again with another pasta type. If you do, leave a comment with how it turned out.
