Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups shiitake mushrooms sliced, stems removed and discarded
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice juice
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 10 ounces fettuccine or any pasta of your choice
- 1 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated + extra for garnish
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped, + extra for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a 4-quart pot of salted water to a boil for cooking fettuccine noodles.
- Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until just tender, according to package directions minus one minute. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, before draining!
- Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook while stirring, until fragrant but NOT browned, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and increase heat to medium-high. Cook the mushrooms until tender and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then add the cooked pasta, the reserved cooking liquid, Parmesan, and basil to the mushrooms in the pan; toss to coat well.
- Serve immediately, garnished with more basil and parmesan cheese, if desired.
