Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their juices and are tender, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Season the sauce with salt to taste.

Add the drained linguine and cubed Bel Paese cheese to the skillet with the sauce.

Note
For a richer flavor, you can sauté the mushrooms in olive oil before adding the butter.
If you don't have Bel Paese cheese, you can substitute it with mozzarella, fontina, or parmesan.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream to restore the sauce's consistency.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream sauce for a classic Italian touch.
