Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 50 grams parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, along with about 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water. Toss well to coat the pasta in the mushroom and garlic mixture.
Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust the consistency with more pasta water if needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
