Instructions

Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until it softens.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they brown and release moisture. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually stir in the vegetable broth, continuously mixing to avoid lumps. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce heat and mix in the Greek yogurt and heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Add parmesan cheese and dried thyme, stirring until the cheese is melted.
Toss the cooked linguine with the sauce in the skillet. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if using.

Notes

Feel free to substitute any type of pasta you love.
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the mushrooms before adding the broth.
