Oyster Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients:
-
½ pound/225g uncooked pasta (we used pappardelle)
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 pound/450g oyster mushrooms (cut into bite-size pieces)
-
3 cloves garlic, chopped
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
¼ cup parsley, chopped
-
¼ cup cheese (parmesan or mozzarella)
Instructions:
-
Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water for 10 minutes. Save ½ cup of pasta water and put it aside. Drain the pasta.
-
While pasta is cooking, make the mushroom sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pan over medium heat. Fry oyster mushrooms in a single layer until both sides are golden. Transfer them on a plate. Continue with the rest of the mushrooms repeating the same steps. Melt butter in the pan before cooking each batch of mushrooms.
-
Transfer all fried mushrooms back in the pan.
-
Add in garlic, salt and black pepper and cook them together for 1-2 minutes.
-
Add in heavy cream, pasta water and parsley. Bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Toss in the pasta and let it cook together for 2-3 minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed. Remove from the heat.
-
Serve immediately with some grated cheese on the top.
