Instructions
Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the tagliatelle and cook until al dente (fresh pasta cooks in about 3 minutes). Reserve ¼ cup pasta water, then drain.
Heat olive oil and butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Stir in garlic and thyme. Cook for another minute until the garlic softens.
Pour in the cream and stir gently. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add the cooked pasta and toss with the sauce. Sprinkle in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and a splash of pasta water if needed. The sauce should lightly coat each strand.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately with fresh parsley and more grated cheese on top.
