Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti Recipe

Ingredients Checklist (Tap as You Prep)

• 8 oz spaghetti (whole wheat or zucchini noodles for low-carb)
• 1 lb mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the mixed mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme.
6. Combine the cooked spaghetti, mushroom sauce, and reserved pasta water. Toss until the spaghetti is well coated and the sauce is creamy.
