    Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until their liquid has evaporated, then add the garlic for 1 more minute.

  4. 4

    Add the cream, the remaining salt and the black pepper and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes until slightly thickened; stir in half the Parmesan.

  5. 5

    Add the pasta to the sauce and toss for 1-2 minutes. Divide among plates and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
