Easy Mushroom Garlic Spaghetti Recipe
An easy to make spaghetti recipe featuring garlic, mushrooms, cheese, and herbs, ready in just 20 minutes.
Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti whole wheat or your favorite brand
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms sliced
- 4-6 cloves garlic chopped
- Kosher salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese plus more for serving
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to package directions. Once the time is up, reserve ⅔ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and season with a pinch of Kosher salt and ground pepper; cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the grated Pecorino Romano cheese and reserved pasta water.
- Use a pair of tongs to toss well until the sauce forms and coats the pasta.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Reserve the pasta water; it helps thicken the sauce. Pre-sliced mushrooms can save prep time. Use long pasta for best sauce adherence. Pecorino Romano cheese offers a robust flavor. Leftover pasta can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
