Ingredients

  1. 12 ounces orchiette pasta
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 pound assorted wild mushrooms, stems trimmed, wiped clean, and thinly sliced
  4. 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  5. 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  6. 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
  7. 1 teaspoon salt
  8. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  9. 2 cups heavy cream
  10. 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
  11. 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and return to the pot. Cover to keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the cream, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
  3. Add the pasta, stir to coat with the sauce, and cook until the pasta is heated through, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and divide among 4 serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle each serving with chives and serve immediately.
