Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the mafaldine pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside. Reserve a cup of pasta water for later use.

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil (if desired) and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced button mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are soft and golden.

  2. 4

    Add Oyster Sauce

    Stir in the oyster sauce and mix well with the garlic and mushrooms, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 5

    Toss the Pasta

    Add the drained mafaldine pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, incorporating the sauce evenly with the pasta. If the mixture seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

  2. 6

    Season and Garnish

    Season the noodles with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chervil for freshness.
