Sauté Mushroom Spaghetti Recipe

• A package of spaghetti
• 1/3 cup of chopped shallots
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2-4 Tablespoons of my garlic paste concoction (depends on your garlic desire). I use 2 tblsp for the pasta, and 2 for the veggie saute
• 3-4 tablespoons of butter
• 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup of mushrooms
• Fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano
• EVOO
• Dash of salt and pepper
• Pasta water

What To Do

1. In a large pot, add water, a dash of sea salt, and two cloves of garlic. Bring to a boil.
2. While the water boils, in a saute pan, add EVOO, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add shallots.
3. When shallots are tender, add mushrooms and lower the heat.
4. Stir regularly. Once cooked, at this point water should be boiling, add pasta.
5. I slowly add a couple of wooden spoons of pasta water to the mushroom saute and then add the tomatoes. Let the tomatoes cook slowly in the pan.
6. When pasta is ready, drain.
7. Add to the pasta pot EVOO and 2 more tablespoons of garlic paste. Add pasta and mix together.
8. To serve, add a serving of pasta to the mushroom saute in the pan and fully cover with the ingredients.
9. Serve with a drizzle of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
