Creamy Mushroom Cheese Pasta
Creamy Mushroom Cheese Pasta
Ingredients:
8 ounces (225g) pasta of your choice
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, gradually mix in the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Toss the cooked pasta in the skillet until well coated with the creamy mushroom sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
