Spaghettini w Mushrooms, Garlic & Oil




Source of Recipe


Source: Quick from Scratch - Pasta


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)

2/3 pound mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon salt

1 pound spaghettini

3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper



Recipe



In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and the red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and the salt and cook until the mushrooms exude liquid, the liquid evaporates, and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.


In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until just done, about 9 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushroom mixture, the parsley, and the pepper.
