Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (such as fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:
    • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms:
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the Onion and Garlic:
    • Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
    • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
    • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine Everything:
    • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the mushroom sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
  • Serve:
    • Divide the pasta among serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
