Ingredients

• 400 grams pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine)
• 300 grams mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster), sliced
• 1 whole garlic bulb
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until soft and golden.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 5

Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the soft cloves out of the skin into the skillet with the mushrooms. Mash the garlic with the back of a spoon to blend it into the sauce.

Step 6

Add the red chili flakes, butter, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, stirring until the butter is melted and fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water, stirring to coat the pasta in the sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to help the flavors meld.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Serve immediately, topping each portion with grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
