Clean the crimini mushrooms with a brush to remove dirt, keeping a little stem intact.

Melt butter in a skillet and add chopped shallots, sautéing until fragrant.

Add the cleaned mushrooms to the skillet with a sprinkle of salt and parsley, and sauté until they are sealed.

Pour in a splash of white wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates.

Boil water in a pot and add the pasta, cooking until al dente.

Blend about 1/3 of the sautéed mushrooms with heavy cream until smooth.

Combine the blended mixture back into the skillet with the remaining mushrooms.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix well, allowing it to finish cooking in the sauce.

Grate a generous amount of parmesan cheese over the pasta and mix until creamy.
