Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fresh tagliatelle pasta
  • 2 cups mixed fresh mushrooms (cremini and shiitake), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tagliatelle and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the Mushrooms: Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Create the Sauce: Pour in heavy cream and simmer gently until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in fresh thyme leaves.
  5. Toss It All Together: Add drained tagliatelle to the sauce, mixing well until coated. If too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually.
  6. Finish Off with Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.
