- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms release most of their water and it's cooked off.
- Take the mushrooms out of the pan and set aside.
- Add the wine, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, flour, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until it becomes a smooth paste.
- Stir in the cream and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
