Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 2

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

Step 4

Add the pasta to the pot. Stir to combine, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook according to the pasta package instructions, usually 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and dried oregano. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
