Pasta

Aglio e Olio

Sautéed Mushrooms

Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and Reserve

    Once cooked, drain the spaghetti, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water for later use.

Aglio e Olio Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Aglio e Olio

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic cloves and sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in the red pepper flakes and salt, cooking for an additional 30 seconds to release the flavors.

  3. 5

    Combine with Spaghetti

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing well to coat. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 6

    Add Fresh Parsley

    Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the spaghetti, tossing again to combine.

Sautéed Mushrooms Preparation

  1. 7

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are browned and tender.

  2. 8

    Add Garlic and Season

    Add minced garlic and salt to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Final Assembly

  1. 9

    Combine and Serve

    Serve the spaghetti topped with the sautéed mushrooms. Optionally, drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with additional parsley.
