Easiest Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Cook the linguine in salted boiling water. Keep some of the cooking water, then drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns translucent.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking until they become tender.

Stir in the tomato paste, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and heavy cream. Mix well until the sauce is homogeneous.

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Toss the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce until it’s well-coated.

Add mozzarella cheese to the skillet and stir gently. Do this off the heat to avoid clumping.

It’s ready, serve hot with more cheese and top with basil leaves. Enjoy!
