Ingredients
  

8 oz (225 g) pasta of your choice (e.g., fettuccine, penne)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

16 oz (450 g) mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

    Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, along with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened and browned.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

          Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy garlic mushroom pasta!
