In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and oil until bubbly. Add the mushrooms and shallot; sauté until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the asparagus, peas, and corn; sauté until heated throughout, about 3 minutes. Toss in the pasta and cheese; add cooking water, as needed, to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle with thyme.
