instructions
    1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes until al dente.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, clean and slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    4

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and black pepper.

    5

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

    6

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the mushrooms. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a light sauce.

    7

    Mix in the chopped parsley and serve immediately, sprinkling with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
