Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (12 oz) fettuccine pasta
  • (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1 medium) yellow onion, chopped
  • (4 cloves) garlic, minced
  • (16 oz) mushrooms, sliced
  • (1 cup) vegetable broth
  • (1 cup) heavy cream
  • (1/2 cups) grated Parmesan cheese
  • (1 tsp) dried thyme
  • (1 tsp) salt
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (1/4 cups) fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat (2 tbsp) olive oil over medium heat. Add the (1 medium) chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Stir in (4 cloves) minced garlic and (16 oz) sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and cooked down.

  3. 3

    Add (12 oz) fettuccine pasta to the pot along with (1 cup) vegetable broth, (1 cup) heavy cream, (1 tsp) dried thyme, (1 tsp) salt, and (1/2 tsp) black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

  5. 5

    Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  6. 6

    Garnish with (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley before serving.
