                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 pound dry spaghetti  |  
                                                2 tablespoons olive oil  |  
                                                1 pound button mushrooms, thinly sliced  |  
                                                2 cloves garlic, finely chopped  |  
                                                1 pound ground beef  |  
                                                1 teaspoon kosher salt  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon black pepper  |  
                                                1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained  |  
                                                1 cup heavy cream  |  
                                                1 cup (4 ounces) grated parmesan  |  
                                                1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Add the garlic, beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until no trace of pink remains, about 5 minutes. Spoon off and discard any fat. Add the tomatoes and their juices and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in the cream and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta and return it to pot. Add the sauce and toss. Divide among plates and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and the parsley.Tip: For a delicious, lower-calorie version of this dish, omit the cream.                              |
