Time 35m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces long pasta, such as linguine or spaghetti
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large or 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1 pound button or cremini mushrooms, sliced (6 cups)
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/2 cup creme fraiche, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until slightly less than al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender and browning in spots, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in horseradish, pasta, and 1/2 cup pasta water; cook, stirring and shaking pan until pasta is cooked and sauce begins to coat pasta, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in creme fraiche and chopped dill; continue stirring and shaking pan, adding more pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce. Serve, garnished with more creme fraiche, dill sprigs, and pepper.
