Juicy Mushroom Pasta

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta when you start cooking the mushrooms.

Step 2: Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, minus 1 minute. Reserve 1 mugful of pasta cooking liquid, then drain the pasta.

Step 3: Melt half the butter and all the oil in a large skillet.

Step 4: Add the mushrooms and cook until their liquid has released and evaporated and the mushrooms start to turn golden around the edges, about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Halfway through cooking, add the salt and pepper.

Step 6: Add the garlic and remaining butter. Cook for 2 minutes, until the mushrooms and garlic are golden.

Step 7: Add the pasta, about 3/4 cup of reserved pasta water and the Parmesan. Toss gently until the water reduces and thickens into a glossy coating on the pasta. If the pasta dries out, add more pasta water.

Step 8: Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9: Remove from the heat and serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.
