Instructions:
Cook the Pasta: Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Deglaze with Wine (Optional): Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, simmering until the liquid reduces by half.
Make the Creamy Sauce: Stir in heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened, then add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted.
Combine and Serve: Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy mushroom sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and more Parmesan if desired.
