DIRECTIONS:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add in the dry linguine and allow to boil for about 8 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through. Once cooked, drain the pasta of excess water.
- While the linguine cooks, prepare the FunGuy mushrooms and Alfredo sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and the garlic and allow them to cook about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook them about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and let them continue to cook and brown while the liquid cooks out of them and they become more crisp and crunchy; about 5-8 more minutes.
- Turn the heat back up to medium and stir in the milk, letting it come to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer about 7 minutes, or until it has reduced and thickened slightly. Make sure to stir occasionally so it does not burn. Stir in the parmesan cheese and cook 2 minutes longer.
- Transfer the cooked linguine to the pan and toss it well with the sauce to coat everything. Taste and season the mushrooms and pasta with salt and fresh black pepper.
- Plate the pasta and mushrooms using tongs. Top each plate with the rest of the mushrooms and Alfredo sauce, pistachios, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately!
Have a Fun meal!
