Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Pasta Dry Weight
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 5 cups Cremini Mushrooms Sliced
  • 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • cup Butter
  • 4 Cloves Garlic Crushed
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • ½ tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice Freshly Squeezed
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly Grated
  • ½ cup Pasta Water Reserved from cooking

For Serving:

Instructions

  • Put the pasta on to cook according to the package directions. When cooked, drain and rinse and set aside. Keep 1 cup of pasta water aside after cooking.
  • Heat olive oil in a pot on medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms release water and the water reduces (about 10 minutes).
  • Add soy sauce, butter, crushed garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook until the spices are fragrant and the mushrooms have absorbed the butter.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and a little of the reserved pasta water and gently toss together.
  • Add more pasta water as needed to make sure the pasta is coated and not dry.
  • Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of ground black pepper, with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  1. Pasta - you can use any pasta that you like. We used spaghetti.
  2. Pasta water - keep aside 1 cup of pasta water that's left behind after cooking the pasta. You will likely only use around ½ cup of it, but just keep aside a bit more just in case. 
  3. Cremini mushrooms - are also called baby bella's, portobellini or swiss brown. You can also use white button mushrooms.
  4. Storing - Keep leftovers stored in a covered container in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave. If it dries out at all when reheating then add a dash of olive oil.
