• 300g (about 10 oz) mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or mixed)

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
3. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become golden brown—about 6–8 minutes.
4. Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan, black pepper, and salt. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Add cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat well. If needed, use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.
6. Garnish with parsley and a pinch of chili flakes. Serve hot and creamy!
