Prep

  1. 01

    Mince 3 cloves garlic.

  2. 02

    Measure out fresh thyme leaves (about 2 teaspoons).

Method

  1. 01

    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add egg noodles and cook until just shy of tender (about 1 minute under the package time). Drain and set aside.

  2. 02

    In the same pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Quarter the mushrooms and add them to the pot; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

  3. 03

    Mince the garlic and add to the pot. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 04

    Pour in the vegetable broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 05

    Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Add the cooked noodles and toss gently to coat.

  6. 06

    Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 07

    Remove from heat, stir in parmesan cheese, and serve warm.

Spice Tips

For earthiness and depth, add 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika with the thyme. For a subtle heat, stir in a pinch of white pepper or red pepper flakes at the end. Fresh sage or tarragon can replace thyme for a different herbaceous note.
