Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil then sautee 4 minced garlic cloves with 8 oz sliced mushrooms until mushrooms soften. Add the mushrooms to a plate and set aside for now.
Add 3 tsp cornstarch, 2 tsp dijon mustard, 2 tsp dried thyme, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper to the pan. Stir together.
Slowly stir in 2 ¼ cups heavy cream. Let the liquid simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the pasta noodles and parmesan cheese to the pot and mix together evenly with the sauce. Scoop onto plates and serve.
