Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 3/4 pound fusilli or other short twisted pasta
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 small shallots, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon blanc
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until shallots are transluscent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minues.
