7. After that, add half a chicken stock cube followed by the mushrooms.
8. Stir all of that together and let it cook for about 5 minutes on medium low heat, to allow the mushrooms to release their juices and evaporate most of it.
9. Now add 5 tablespoons of heavy cream and mix that in.
10. Now add the dried oregano, dried cilantro, dried basil, black pepper and salt.
11. Stir and add in the pasta, lower the heat even more, and leave the pasta in there for about a minute, so it "marries" the sauce, and also to allow the starch to thicken up the sauce.
12. So now add the shredded cheese, to make it even creamier and enhance the taste.
