Ingredients
– 350g (12.3 oz)store bought or homemade fettuccine pasta
– 2 scallions
– 1 small onion
– 50g butter (1.8 oz)
– 200g chanterelle mushrooms (7 oz)
– 2.5 ml heavy cream (0.5 tsp)
– 2 eggs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese, Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Cook the pasta
- Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- When making homemade fettuccine, boil water and add the pasta in batches. Avoid adding all the pasta at once. Once the pasta rises to the surface, it’s cooked. Remove it from the water and cook the remaining batches.
- Cook the mushrooms
- Finely chop the scallions and onion.
- Clean the chanterelle mushrooms and cut them into pieces.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet.
- Add the chopped onion and scallions and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chanterelle mushrooms and cook until tender and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- Cook the creamy sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
- Reduce the skillet heat to low.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the vegetables and mushrooms.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the pasta and stir constantly to create a sauce. Make sure the heat is low to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Season with salt and parsley to taste.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until the sauce thickens.
- Serve immediately, with grated Parmesan if you like. Enjoy your delicious Chanterelle Fettuccine Pasta!

Make this creamy chaterelle pasta even better
Here are some tips to make this creamy pasta with fresh chanterelles even more delicious:
- Add aromatics and herbs: Along with the onions and scallions, add a clove or two of minced garlic for extra depth of flavor. Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can also complement the mushrooms well. Add them towards the end of cooking to preserve their freshness.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: If homemade fettuccine isn’t available, no worries! You can still make this dish with high-quality store-bought fettuccine or tagliatelle. The pasta quality can significantly impact the final dish, so choose wisely!
- Extra Depth: You can also add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to deglaze the skillet after cooking the mushrooms, which adds more depth to the sauce. It’s a great way to make the flavors pop!
- Optional Additions: For a touch of luxury, consider adding a handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese directly into the sauce just before tossing with the pasta. This adds a creamy, cheesy element that complements the chanterelle mushrooms beautifully. It’s a delicious way to elevate the flavors!
- Now for the finishing touches: Add a few more fresh herbs, like parsley or chives, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle on a little extra-virgin olive oil for a final flourish.
