Cook pasta al dente according to package directions in salted water. Drain.
While pasta is cooking, combine cream, butter, broccoli, mushrooms, parsley and seasonings in a sauce pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Increase the heat of the sauce slightly; bring to a boil.
When cream sauce boils, add the cooked and drained pasta to the sauce.
Reduce the sauce over medium heat until cream sauce clings to the pasta.
Remove from heat; toss in Parmesan cheese, a little at a time until desired sauce consistency is achieved.
Garnish with more Parmesan cheese, if desired.
