10-Minute Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Create the Creamy Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Combine and Serve

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
