Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine pasta
- 4 pieces large king oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 piece lemon
- 1 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 piece nori sheet
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the king oyster mushrooms by cleaning them with a damp cloth. Trim the ends, then use a fork to shred the stems into pieces resembling clam strips.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the mushrooms. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and allow it to reduce by half, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the vegetable broth, and bring to a simmer.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice into the skillet, being mindful of seeds.
Crumble the nori sheet and add it to the skillet, stirring to combine. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Let the mixture simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta thoroughly with the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley, if desired.
