Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pasta

Method

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil and cook the pasta 1 minute less than the packet says. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain.
2. Meanwhile heat the olive oil and half the butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms in batches and cook without stirring for 2–3 minutes, then stir until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining butter and the onion and cook for 3 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the wine and let it bubble until almost evaporated.
5. Add the cream and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add the pasta and the parmesan to the pan and toss, adding pasta water a little at a time until the sauce is glossy and coats the pasta.
7. Taste for salt and pepper, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with extra parmesan.
