Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz g Uncooked pasta
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 7 oz g Cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning or smoked paprika
  • 1 lb g Cooked prime rib, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, boil water and salt it. Add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and add olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms, then season with salt, pepper, and cook until tender (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds or until it's fragrant. Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and cajun seasoning.
  4. Stir and cook until the parmesan melts then loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water and allow to simmer for a minute. Taste the sauce and see if more salt and pepper are needed.
  5. Toss the pasta with the sauce until it's well coated. Add the prime rib to warm it up gently, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Don’t forget to reserve about a cup of pasta cooking water, it’s quite starchy and great for loosening up the sauce.
  • Tip 2: Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
  • Tip 3: Reheat the pasta in a skillet over low-medium heat, and add a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
  • Tip 4: I don’t recommend freezing this creamy pasta.
