Instructions
- Bring a wide pan filled with 2-inches of water to a boil and salt generously (I usually add 1 tablespoon per gallon of water).
- Trim the 300 grams mushrooms and slice or shred them into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil the 225 grams spaghetti for 1 minute less than the time specified in the package directions.
- In a separate frying pan over medium heat, add the 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil and 12 grams garlic. Sauté the garlic until it is fragrant and starting to soften, but do not let it brown yet.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté until they're wilted and starting to brown. Depending on your mushrooms, you may need to add a little more olive oil to ensure they brown evenly. Season with a pinch of Salt and Black pepper to taste.
- When the pasta is almost done, and the mushrooms have browned, melt the 28 grams cultured unsalted butter into the mushrooms.
- Add the 2 tablespoons soy sauce and a scoop of the starchy pasta water. Mix this vigorously to emulsify the butter with the liquids.
- Transfer the cooked pasta to the pan with the mushrooms using tongs or a slotted spoon and vigorously stir the noodles with the butter soy sauce mixture. Continue adding pasta water as it gets absorbed, until the spaghetti is cooked to your liking and is coated in a thin layer of the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with Flat-leaf parsley and serve immediately.
