How to Make Mushroom And Thyme Cavatelli

  1. Cook 1 pound of cavatelli pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional) and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the zest of 1 lemon and any remaining wine. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
  7. Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately, topped with shaved Parmesan cheese to taste.
