How to make Mushroom and Garlic Spaghetti Dinner
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
Step 2: In a large skillet, beat 1 tbsp butter and oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are browned and tender, stirring often. Next, add the garlic along with the red pepper flakes (optional) and the rest of the 2 tbsp butter. Continue to cook for another minute.
Step 3: Drain the pasta when done, making sure to set aside 3/4 c. of the cooking water. To the skillet, add the pasta, reserved cooking water, and cheese. Stir well and continue to cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Lastly, stir in the parsley.
Step 4: Take the skillet off the heat when done and ladle the mushroom and garlic spaghetti into shallow bowls. Serve garnished with extra cheese. Enjoy!
