Spaghetti with mushrooms, garlic and oil

Spaghetti with mushrooms, garlic, and oil is a delicious and simple dish that can be prepared quickly for a weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend meal. Bursting with flavor from the garlic, mushrooms, and a touch of white wine, this pasta dish is sure to become a favorite in your household.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups mushrooms
130g
3 garlic cloves
9g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.64g
2 fl oz white wine
60g
8 oz pasta
230g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Cook the Mushrooms:
- Increase the heat to medium-high.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Deglaze the Pan:
- Pour in the white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Allow the wine to simmer until it has reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic.
- Toss everything together, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if the mixture seems dry.
7. Season and Serve:
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Add the chopped fresh parsley and toss to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, high-quality mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. Cremini or button mushrooms work well, but you can experiment with other varieties like shiitake or oyster mushrooms.

- Don't overcook the garlic. Garlic can burn quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it's fragrant and golden brown to avoid a bitter taste.

- Deglaze the pan with white wine to add depth and complexity to the sauce. If you prefer not to use wine, you can substitute with vegetable or chicken broth.

- Reserve some pasta water before draining the spaghetti. Adding a splash of pasta water to the sauce helps it adhere better to the pasta and creates a silky texture.

- Season the dish to taste with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Adjust the amount of red pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.

- Finish the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor if desired.

Cooking spaghetti with mushrooms, garlic, and oil is an excellent way to enjoy a flavorful and comforting meal without spending hours in the kitchen. With a few simple ingredients and these easy-to-follow tips, you can create a delectable dish that's perfect for any occasion.
