Ingredients

2. While the farro is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
4. Once the farro is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for a few minutes. Then, fluff it with a fork.
5. Add the cooked farro to the skillet with the mushrooms and stir to combine. Pour in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well until the cream and cheese are fully incorporated and the dish becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Transfer the creamy farro with wild mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley.
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
