• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and return to the pot. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the cream, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• Add the pasta, stir to coat with the sauce, and cook until the pasta is heated through, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and divide among 4 serving bowls or plates. Sprinkle each serving with chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt the first amount of butter over medium heat and add the shallot, cook until tender.
• Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook until tender.
• Add the broth, wine, and salt and pepper if desired. Bring to a boil and then turn down heat and simmer for about ten minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, in a separate pot melt the second amount of butter over medium heat.
• Stir the flour into the butter until absorbed to make a roux.
• Pour the mushroom mixture into the roux and bring to a boil, turn down the heat and stir until thickened.
• Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, and parsley.
• This can be served over rice or pasta -- but secretly sometimes I just eat it like a stew by itself with some crusty bread. Yum yum.
• Enjoy!
