Spaghetti with Shiitake Mushrooms

Oct 10, 2009

I like my cream sauces in my pasta but sometimes I like it plain and simple with just mushrooms and cheese. My Spaghetti and Shiitake Mushrooms only takes minutes to make and it's delicious. The Shiitake mushrooms gives the pasta it's meaty taste and texture while the the combination of Parmesan and Romano Cheese provide a salty cheesy flavor and ending with a hint of heat from the chili flakes.

Ingredients:
2 cups of Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1/4 lb of spaghetti
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp of red chili flakes or more depending on taste
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs of parsley, chopped

Directions:
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Salt water and add pasta. Cook pasta until al dente
In a saute pan, heat olive oil, saute garlic and chili flakes. Add Shiitake mushroom and cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Add spaghetti to mushroom and mix well. Add parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
