Ingredients
- 400 grams pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 300 grams white or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 100 milliliters dry white wine
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and thyme leaves to the mushrooms. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
Step 8
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
