Ingredients

100g pasta

200g mushrooms , sliced 1/2 cm thick

25g butter

0.5 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic cloves , finely minced

0.25 tsp each salt and pepper

25 g freshly grated parmesan cheese

Handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta into the pot when you start cooking the 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.
