Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz linguine or spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the white wine or vegetable broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the 2 cups of vegetable broth and the dry pasta to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook according to the pasta package directions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to your preference.
  8. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • If you want to add spinach, stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach during the last minute of cooking until it wilts.
  • This recipe is vegetarian and makes a great weeknight pasta dinner.
