Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain.
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and butter, then melt over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
Pour in the white wine and allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a boil.
Incorporate the reserved ½ cup of pasta water and stir. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Remove the skillet from heat.
