Ingredients

  • 8 oz pappardelle pasta
  • 8 oz mixed mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz pappardelle and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. 2

    While the pasta cooks, heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook until golden and browned, about 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss to combine, letting the sauce thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 cup grated parmesan and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Serve immediately with extra parmesan on top.
