Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to foam and develop a rich aroma.
  2. Sauté 1 finely chopped shallot for 3–5 minutes until tender and translucent.
  3. Add 16 ounces of baby Bella mushrooms and cook for 8–10 minutes until browned and tender.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute to remove raw taste.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of chicken broth, stirring, and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Whisk in 2 cups of half and half, simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Stir in 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  8. Add ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted, then mix in fresh parsley.
  9. Toss cooked pasta with the sauce directly in the skillet, ensuring it is well coated.
