Ingredients

20 min
2 people
  1. 8 ozdry pasta, preferably a short shape like bowtie/farfalle
  2. 8 ozcrimini mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced
  3. 2green onions, sliced
  4. 2 clovesgarlic, finely chopped
  5. 3 tbspcold butter, separated
  6. Dried herbs to taste, such as: rosemary, tarragon, thyme, basil
  7. 1/4 cupwhite wine (or 2 tbsp lemon juice)
  8. Salt and pepper
  9. Parmigianino reggiano, to garnish

Cooking Instructions

20 min
  1. 1

    Place pasta in a pot, sprinkle with a generous tbsp of salt, and cover with water so it's submerged by about an inch.

  2. 2

    Bring to a boil and cook until just shy of al dente, about 2 min less than package instructions.

  3. 3

    While pasta is boiling, melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large saute pan over medium high. Add mushrooms, green onions, and garlic. Salt to taste, about ½-1 tsp. Stir frequently and saute until mushrooms are golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add herbs and pepper to taste, a pinch of each, and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add wine and cook until alcohol smell is gone. Reduce heat to medium low.

  5. 5

    When pasta is done, reserve 1 cup cooking liquid and drain. Add directly to the mushrooms with 1/4 cup liquid.

  6. 6

    Add in the remaining two Tbsp COLD butter, one at a time, stirring vigorously until melted. Add splashes of pasta water if it begins to separate or look greasy. You should wind up with a silky, smooth coating of sauce on the noodles.

  7. 7

    Immediately remove from heat and serve, garnished with freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
