1. Prepare the Pasta:
Cook your chosen pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, following the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they become golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Create the Creamy Sauce:
Pour in the heavy cream and add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce gently simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce.
4. Toss and Serve:
Combine the cooked pasta with the creamy mushroom sauce in the skillet. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if you like. Serve hot and enjoy this luxurious mushroom pasta delight!
