Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so that it's ready for baking.

    Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until it reaches al dente texture. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

      Sauté Mushrooms: In a spacious skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for approximately 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and release their moisture. Next, stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.

        Prepare Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer in the same skillet. Pour in the heavy cream, then add the Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper to taste. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts and combines into a smooth sauce.

          Combine Ingredients: Gently add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy mushroom sauce until every strand of pasta is well coated. Fold in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese for extra creaminess.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the creamy pasta and mushroom mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

              Add Cheese Topping: Evenly sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the mixture, ensuring good coverage for a deliciously cheesy crust.

                Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and turns a delightful golden hue.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few moments. Finally, garnish your creamy Alfredo mushroom bake with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color before serving.
