Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy mushroom sauce until well coated.
