This Easy Mushroom Garlic Spaghetti Recipe is a quick and flavorful dish featuring mushrooms and garlic for a comforting pasta meal.
Equipment
- large pot
- large skillet
- Tongs
Ingredients
Pasta
- 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 and ground pepper to taste
- ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese plus more for serving
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves coarsely chopped
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- 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 cremini mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and season with a pinch of Kosher salt and ground pepper; cook for 1 minute more to allow the garlic to release its fragrance.
- While the pan is still on heat, add the drained pasta to the skillet together 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 coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t forget to reserve the pasta water! It helps provide a creamy texture to the pasta. Purchase pre-sliced mushrooms for even less prep time. Spaghetti noodles are the best to use. Store leftover pasta in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
