   • Cook the linguine according to the package directions until al dente.
   • Once done, drain the linguine, reserving some pasta water, and set it aside.

2. Prepare Sauce:

   • In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and tender.

3. Cook Mushrooms:

   • Next, add the fresh mushrooms to the pan along with a dash of salt and the dried basil.
   • Sauté the mushrooms until they are tender and cooked through.

4. Combine Sauce:

   • To the mushrooms, add the remaining butter, olive oil, and freshly ground pepper.
   • Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for a couple of minutes.

5. Toss Pasta:

   • Add the cooked linguine to the pan with the mushroom sauce.
   • Toss everything together gently, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the flavorful sauce.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Finish the dish by sprinkling fresh parsley over the top.
   • Serve the Mushroom Linguini hot, garnished with a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

• Mushroom Choice: Use your favorite mushrooms or a mix for a diverse flavor profile. Cremini, shiitake, or even wild mushrooms work well.

• Don’t Overcook: Ensure not to overcook the linguine; it should be al dente to retain its texture and ability to hold the sauce.

• Add Protein: For a heartier meal, consider adding grilled chicken strips or shrimp alongside the pasta.

• Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh basil on hand, swap it in for the dried basil. The aroma will be even more enticing!

• Creamy Variation: For a creamy version, stir in a splash of heavy cream or cream cheese to the sauce before tossing with the pasta.

• Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick to your Mushroom Linguini.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy this Mushroom Linguini with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad for a satisfying meal.

• Pair it with a glass of your favorite white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, to complement the earthy flavors.

• Don’t forget to sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese at the table for those who love an extra cheesy finish!
