Ingredients

300 g fusilli pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
250 g sliced mushrooms
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried basil

Method

1
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes.
2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5-6 minutes.
4
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms and bring to a simmer. Add the frozen peas, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, dried thyme, and dried basil. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
6
Serve the fusilli with creamy mushroom sauce and peas hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
