- Stir-fry the mushrooms with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Once the mushrooms are cooked, transfer them into a small bowl.
- Add butter to the same pot, then saute onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add in flour, chicken broth, milk, and heavy cream. Season the mixture with the remaining salt, , thyme, pepper, nutmeg, and Italian seasoning. Then bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta and mushrooms and reduce to a simmer for an extra 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and parsley to the pot. Stir so it combines into the mixture. Add chicken to the pot.
