| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Cook Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. |
| 2. | Saute Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 2 minutes until they begin to brown and soften. |
| 3. | Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for another minute until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant. |
| 4. | Make Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook and stir for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. |
| 5. | Prepare Sauce: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper, stirring until well combined. |

| 7. | Add Cheese: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and blends into the sauce. |
| 8. | Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the mushroom cream sauce. Toss well until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. |
| 9. | Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor and color. Serve hot and enjoy your delightful Pasta with Mushroom Cream Sauce! |
