Heat the olive oil in a large pan and fry the sliced mushrooms until golden brown

Allow the mushrooms to release their moisture and cook off the liquid, stirring occasionally

Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for another minute

Stir in the chilli flakes, fresh parsley, and chives. Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix well

Pour in the cream and allow the sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce, adding reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly. Adjust the sauce consistency as needed to ensure it's creamy but not too thick

Sprinkle the pasta generously with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately while hot
