Linguini with Mushroom Cheese Sauce

I am making up for lost time and posting two dinners from last week. They are totally out of order, I apologize. I really need to start posting on time again!

This is a creamy pasta dish that is really yummy and totally unhealthy! Lots of butter, cheese and pasta, so make this dish one for occasional eating rather than regular dinner time fare. I served an arugula salad with this for some greens and it was pretty tasty too. That recipe may come another time though.

Linguini with Mushroom Cheese Sauce

1/4 cup butter

2 TBS olive oil

1 lg package white mushrooms, sliced

2 TBS flour

3/4 cup light cream

1 cup 2 % milk

1/4 cup white wine or sherry (cooking wine or cooking sherry would be fine to use)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

12 oz linguine

1. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes or longer until tender.

2. Sprinkle flour into skillet and stir with a whisk until a thick paste forms.

3. Slowly stir in mile and cream, stirring constantly.

4. Reduce heat and simmer about 3 minutes.

5. Stir in wine and cheese. Serve over cooked pasta.
