  1. Cook the tagliatelle in salted boiling water according to the pack timings. Save a mug of cooking water, then drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the mushrooms for 6–8 minutes until golden and any liquid has evaporated.
  3. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer and stir in the cheese.
  5. Toss in the pasta with a splash of the cooking water to loosen. Season, sprinkle with parsley and serve with extra cheese.

FAQs

Can I use other mushrooms?

Any mushroom works – a mix of chestnut and a few wild mushrooms is especially good.

Can I make it lighter?

Use half-fat crème fraîche instead of double cream, and keep the heat low so it doesn't split.

Is it vegetarian?

Traditional Parmesan is made with animal rennet, so use a vegetarian hard cheese if needed.

Can I reheat leftovers?

Chill within 2 hours and eat within a day. Reheat gently with a splash of water until piping hot.
