A quick and flavorful Mushroom Spaghetti Aglio Olio recipe that combines tender spaghetti with sautéed button and oyster mushrooms, infused with garlic, chili flakes, and a touch of Parmesan cheese for a perfect 15-minute meal.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 250 grams Spaghetti
  • Salt, to taste

Sauce and Toppings

  • 1/3 cup Olive oil, divided
  • 200 grams Button Mushrooms, cleaned and cut in half
  • 100 grams Oyster Mushrooms
  • 7-8 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped Parsley
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons Parmesan, grated

Instructions

  1. Boil Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: While the pasta cooks, heat two-thirds of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add button and oyster mushrooms and sauté until they are tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the finely chopped garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Chili Flakes and Combine: Stir in the chili flakes and cook for a few seconds. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet along with the remaining olive oil. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a light sauce and help everything combine smoothly.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Toss gently to combine. Adjust salt to taste, serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water as it helps to create a silky sauce that clings to the spaghetti.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Feel free to substitute other mushroom varieties if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan or use a vegan cheese alternative.
