We eat a lot of creamy pasta at our house, but sometimes all that richness can be too much! This lighter (but still delicious) spaghetti is a great change of pace.

The pasta cooking water is full of delicious flavour from the starch. I use it instead of throwing it away.

Use your favourite mushrooms! I used maitake mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms this time. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yumi`s cafe
