Step 1
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Add mushrooms to the skillet. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until edges brown.
Step 4
Stir mushrooms and cook 3 more minutes until they release liquid and edges darken.
Step 5
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant—don't let it burn.
Step 6
Pour in cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let bubble for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Stir in parmesan until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the skillet and toss.
Step 9
If sauce is too thick, add pasta water 1 tbsp at a time until silky. Top with fresh herbs.
Step 10
Divide between bowls and serve immediately.
