Lightly flour a counter surface and flatten the pasta dough with a rolling pin to about 3mm thick.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil with a little olive oil.
Feed each sheet of dough through a pasta roller on the wide setting (#5), then again on a smaller setting (#4), and a final time on your chosen setting (#2).
Attach the linguini cutter to the machine and feed each pasta sheet through to cut it into ribbons.
Place the linguini into the boiling water and stir to prevent clumping. Boil for 3-4 minutes.
Heat a pan on medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the mushrooms and sauté until slightly browned.
Add the garlic and flour. Mix until well combined.
Add the cream and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
Add half of the parmesan and turn down the heat to let the sauce simmer and reduce to a medium-thick consistency.
Drain the pasta but reserve the pasta water.
Add the cooked linguini to the sauce and simmer.
Pour a little pasta water into the sauce to loosen it up.
Once the sauce is coating the pasta, turn off the heat.
Serve and sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan cheese.
Make sure to flour the pasta dough lightly to prevent sticking while rolling and cutting.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency as needed.
Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor.
Can I use store-bought pasta instead of making fresh linguini?
Yes, you can use store-bought linguini to save time. Cook it according to the package instructions and proceed with the sauce.
What type of mushrooms can I use for this recipe?
Button mushrooms are recommended, but you can also use cremini or portobello mushrooms for a richer flavor.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
This recipe is already vegetarian as it does not include meat or seafood.
How do I prevent the pasta from clumping while boiling?
Stir the pasta immediately after adding it to boiling water and add a little olive oil to the water.
Can I substitute cream with a lighter option?
You can use half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative for a lighter version of the sauce.
