Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and sautu00e9 for 10 minutes until soft and their juices are released. Stir in the thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Then, stir in the flour until it's completely absorbed, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the wine and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Drain the cooked pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Add in 1/4 cup of the pasta water until the sauce has a smooth consistency. Add more, if needed. Stir in lemon juice and zest.
Top with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make Ahead Instructions: The mushrooms can be sliced up to 2 days before and stored in the refrigerator. Pasta: It's best to use a long style pasta, like fettuccine or linguini, though any type of pasta works. Heavy Cream: This works best with heavy whipping cream or half and half. Thyme: If you don't have fresh thyme use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. We're using less since dried thyme is much stronger. Wine: If you don't want to use wine, you can substitute with any type of broth— vegetable or chicken.
