Ingredients
- 300 g Pasta (e.g., spaghetti or fettuccine)
- 250 g Oyster mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
- 120 ml Pasta cooking water
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 120 ml (1/2 cup) of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, clean the oyster mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. Tear the larger mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the oyster mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their liquid and become golden brown.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to mix until it melts into the sauce.
Step 7
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta cooking water. Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Step 8
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes to taste. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top and toss once more.
Step 9
Remove from heat and divide the pasta into serving bowls. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
