Let’s talk about ingredients:

• 400 grams of pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
• 200 grams of fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 200 ml of heavy cream
• 100 ml of white wine (optional)
• 50 grams of grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until they are translucent.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften and brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. This will impart a rich flavor to the mushrooms.
5. Add the chopped artichokes to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
6. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

This artichoke and mushroom pasta pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious creamy sauce. For wine enthusiasts, a glass of Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio complements the rich flavors of the dish perfectly.
