How to Make Fettuccine With Mushrooms And Fried Sage

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves and fry slowly, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove sage leaves with tongs and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  4. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the butter-oil mixture from the skillet, reserving the remaining infused oil for later.
  5. Preheat oven to the lowest setting (around 170°F/77°C) to keep the cooked mushrooms warm.
  6. Increase heat under the skillet to medium-high.
  7. Add 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced, to the hot skillet.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces, to the skillet as the mushrooms sauté.
  9. Season mushrooms generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Sauté over medium-high heat until mushrooms are browned and sizzling (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  11. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms to a large, oven-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  12. Add 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock to the skillet and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  13. Bring the stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce by half, then lower heat and keep warm.
  14. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions until al dente.
  15. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  16. Add the pasta to the skillet with the reduced stock and the reserved sage-infused butter.
  17. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. Add a little pasta water if needed to create a creamy sauce.
  18. Add the warm mushrooms from the oven to the skillet with the pasta and toss gently to combine.
  19. Transfer the pasta and mushroom mixture to a warm serving platter.
  20. Garnish with the crispy fried sage leaves.
  21. Serve immediately.
