Ingredients
- – 12 ounces (340 g) spaghetti, whole wheat or your favorite brand
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- – 1 pound (450 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
- – 4-6 garlic cloves, chopped
- – Salt and ground pepper, to taste
- – 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- – 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Boil the spaghetti in salted water following the package instructions. Once cooked, save 2/3 cup of the cooking water and then strain the pasta.
- In the meantime, warm up the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Introduce the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they become soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and season with salt and pepper; continue cooking for an additional minute to let the garlic become aromatic.
- With the pan still on the stove, incorporate the drained spaghetti into the mushrooms along with the grated Parmesan cheese and the saved pasta water.
- Use tongs to thoroughly combine everything until the pasta is coated with the sauce.
- Mix in the coarsely chopped fresh parsley. Serve right away and savor your dish!
Notes
- Try using a variety of mushrooms like shiitake or oyster for added flavor.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice on the pasta before serving for a touch of brightness.
- Enhance the dish with herbs like thyme or basil, and add red pepper flakes for a hint of heat if desired.
