Ingredients:
- 8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 16 oz mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or a vegetarian alternative)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
- Season the Mixture:
- Stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
- Create the Sauce:
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy mushroom sauce.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
- Serve:
- Divide the creamy mushroom pasta among serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
