Ingredients

• 8 ounces uncooked pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 7 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced (chestnut mushrooms in the UK))
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• ½ cup heavy cream ((double cream in the UK))
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning (or smoked paprika)
• 1 pound cooked prime rib (sliced into bite size pieces)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (chopped)

Method

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, boil water and salt it. Add your pasta, and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and add olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms, then season with salt, pepper, and cook until tender (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds or until it's fragrant. Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and cajun seasoning.
4. Stir and cook until the parmesan melts then loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water and allow to simmer for a minute. Taste the sauce and see if more salt and pepper are needed.
5. Toss the pasta with the sauce until it's well coated. Add the prime rib to warm it up gently, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
