Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340g) spaghetti
  • 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, thinly sliced (Cremini, button, or shiitake)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red chili flakes, truffle oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden and slightly crispy.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic—it can turn bitter quickly.
  4. Add the vegetable broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Toss the drained spaghetti into the skillet with the mushroom mixture. Add the remaining olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and a splash of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce cling to the noodles.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and red chili flakes, if using.
  7. Serve immediately, with extra Parmesan and parsley on top for garnish.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the mushrooms to ensure they caramelize properly. Save your pasta water to create a silky sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
