Ingredients
Pasta
- 12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to package directions. Once done, reserve ⅔ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped garlic and season with a pinch of Kosher salt and ground pepper; cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with the grated Pecorino Romano cheese and reserved pasta water.
- Use tongs to toss well until the sauce forms and coats the pasta.
- Stir in the coarsely chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Don't forget to reserve the pasta water! It's starchy and helps provide a creamy texture to the pasta. Purchase pre-sliced mushrooms for less prep time. Use fresh mushrooms over canned for best results. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
