👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Pasta

Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water before draining.

2️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

3️⃣ Prepare the Sauce

Dissolve the Marmite in the cream, then pour it into the skillet. Add the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir gently until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

4️⃣ Combine

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until every piece is evenly coated. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

5️⃣ Serve

Transfer to serving bowls and finish with freshly grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
