A creamy and flavorful spaghetti dish with garlic, herbs, and mushrooms, perfect for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Stir in the dried thyme and oregano, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
