Instructions
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Melt the butter and oil together in a large frying pan or skillet.
- Add the mushrooms, dried thyme and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
- Sauté them until they are golden brown on both sides then add the garlic into the pan and stir together until aromatic.
- Remove the mushrooms to a bowl.
- Add the white wine to the frying pan/skillet and let it sizzle away until it has reduced by at least half.
- Add the thyme leaves, heavy cream, and the parmesan.
- Bring to a simmer and then add the mushrooms back in.
- Stir well to combine, then check the seasoning.
- Turn the heat down to the lowest simmer whilst the pasta cooks.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, salt it well and then add the pasta. Cook for 1 minute less than the packet suggests. Once cooked, reserve a cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Add the drained pasta and ¼ cup of the cooking water.
- Stir well adding more pasta cooking water if needed.
- Serve immediately with extra parmesan cheese and fresh thyme.
Notes
- You can use any pasta for this recipe. We prefer Rotini or a long noodle, like spaghetti or linguine.
- I like to use either Cremini, Baby Bellas or Swiss Browns, but the recipe will work well with plain white mushrooms.
