Choose pasta

200g / 7 oz short pasta like orecchiette, penne, macaroni

160g/6 oz long pasta - spaghetti, fettucine

 

GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS FOR PASTA

400g / 14 oz mushrooms , sliced 1/2 cm / 1/5" thick

50g / 3 tbsp unsalted butter , separated

1 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves , finely minced

1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or 1/4 cup store bought grated)

TO SERVE

Parsley, finely chopped

Parmesan cheese , grated

PASTA
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta into the pot when you start cooking the mushrooms.
Cook pasta per packet instructions minus 1 minute. RESERVE 1 mugful of pasta cooking liquid, then drain pasta.

MUSHROOMS
Melt half butter and all oil in a large skillet over heat.
Add mushrooms and cook until water has leeched then evaporated, and the mushrooms start to turn golden around edges - around 5 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, add salt & pepper.
Add garlic and remaining butter, cook for 2 minutes until mushrooms and garlic are golden.
Add pasta, about 3/4 cup of reserved pasta water and parmesan. Toss gently or until water reduces and thickens into a saucy glaze that coats the pasta. If the pasta dries out, add more pasta water.
Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Remove from stove and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese.
