This easy pasta with vermouth cream sauce is a new favorite in our house and it’s so easy to whip up and only requires a handful of ingredients.

I definitely recommend sweet vermouth for this, but if you don’t have vermouth, white wine or sherry will work just fine! We loved the flavor of sweet vermouth, but you can also use dry vermouth. I felt like the sweetness worked really well in this cream sauce because of the heat from the red Fresno chili peppers.

To make this recipe, you will simply fry up onions and mushrooms until they’re very browned and beginning to caramelize. Next, you’ll add garlic and red Fresno peppers and cook them until they’re fragrant. Finally, you’ll add 1/4 cup sweet vermouth and 1/2 cup vegetable stock. Bring it to a boil and then stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for a few more minutes before you toss with cooked linguine.

This pasta with vermouth cream sauce is a perfect easy dinner that you can whip up in about 30 minutes. What’s not to love?

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh linguine note, if you use dry pasta, the cook time will be increased
  • 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 Vidalia onion peeled and diced

  • 1-2 red Fresno peppers trimmed and sliced (or use crushed red pepper)
  • ¼ cup sweet Vermouth
  • ½ cup vegetable stock

Instructions

  • Add the garlic and red Fresno peppers and cook for 45 seconds until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish the Sauce:

  • Pour the sweet vermouth into the pot and bring to a boil. Add the vegetable stock and boil for 4-5 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the reserved pasta cooking water to temper it and pour the mixture into the sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper and cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until thickened.

Sauce the Pasta:

  • Add the pasta to the pot and toss to coat until glossy. Turn off the heat.

To Serve:
