Ingredients

  • ½ pounds pasta any shape
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 16 oz sliced mushrooms any kind
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme AND dried oregano leaves
  • 1.5 tablespoon flour
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup heavy / thickened cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, cook pasta as directed. Drain and set aside. 
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and most of the liquid has evaporated about 4 to 5 minutes. 
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add garlic, white balsamic vinegar, thyme, oregano. Cook until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Then mix in flour and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add in broth, cream, parmesan, and gruyere. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Then bring the sauce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens.  Keep it at a simmer. If it becomes more of a boil, reduce the heat.
  • Remove from heat, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix in the pasta. Serve immediately :)
