This pasta dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a dinner party with friends. It features a rich and creamy sauce that gets its depth of flavor from a splash of whiskey and dry white wine. The caramelized onions add a hint of sweetness, while the mushrooms lend a savory note. Served over al dente penne, this dish brings together the flavors of Italy and the American South in a delicious fusion of taste. Enjoy with a glass of wine and good conversation.

Instructions

1.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and a little kosher salt and black pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown.
2.Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized.
3.Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Pour in the whiskey, chicken broth, heavy cream, and more salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook for 10-15 minutes or until thickened.
4.Add the cooked pasta and stir to coat with the creamy sauce. Top with the cooked mushrooms and serve hot.
