Cooking Steps
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Sauté the Mushrooms
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their moisture and started to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Create the Sauce Base
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, until the wine has reduced by about half.
Make it Creamy
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and thyme. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
Combine and Serve
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to combine, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
