Instructions

1

Cook the spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.

Pro tip: Al dente pasta offers the perfect texture for this dish.

2

Sauté the garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pro tip: Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.

3

Cook the mushrooms

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Pro tip: Use a mix of button, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms for depth of flavour.

4

Combine with broth

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid reduces slightly, about 3 minutes.

5

Mix with pasta

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated.

Pro tip: Use the reserved pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency to your liking.

6

Finish and serve

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Garnish with extra parsley and Parmesan for added flavour.
