In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, melt butter with olive oil; saute the shallot and garlic for several minutes. Add mushrooms; saute about 5 - 8 minutes, stirring often, until mushrooms are just tender. If the pot is too dry, add a bit more olive oil.
Add the wine; let it evaporate for 1 minute; add chicken stock, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Let sauce simmer and reduce for several minutes.
Sprinkle in Wondra flour; stir in. Add cream; bring back to a simmer. Season to taste. Set aside while cooking the fettuccine.
While sauce is cooking, boil the pasta in well salted water according to package directions until it's al dente., about 8-10 minutes. When it's just al dente, add it to the sauce; toss well, or transfer the pasta to a serving bowl and top with the sauce.
Serve, garnished with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

* Wondra flour dissolves instantly in hot or cold liquids with no clumps. It’s great to slightly thicken a sauce.
