SPAGHETTI WITH WILD MUSHROOMS RECIPE



This recipe will teach you how to make Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms. It is a quick and easy recipe to make. The Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms is a great spaghetti if you like mushrooms as I do. The flavour is absolutely exquisite with the mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, chilies, lemon juice, parsley and covered in parmesan cheese. Thats what makes this spaghetti so special.

Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms Ingredients

3 Tbs olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 lb dried spaghetti
2 oz unsalted butter
handful grated parmesan
1 clove garlic finely chopped
11 oz wild mixed mushrooms
1 small dried red chili pounded
1 handful fresh parsley roughly chopped

Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms Method

Brush off any dirt from the mushrooms with a pastry brush and slice the mushrooms thinly. Put the olive oil in a very hot frying pan and add the mushrooms. Let them fry fast tossing once or twice then add the garlic and chili with a pinch of salt, it is very important to season mushrooms slightly as it really brings out the flavour. Continue to fry fast for 4 minutes tossing regularly. Then turn the heat off and squeeze in the lemon juice then toss and season to taste. Meanwhile cook the pasta in boiling, salted water until just soft. Drain and add to the mushrooms with the parmesan, parsley and butter. Toss gently coating the pasta with the mushrooms and their flavour. Serve scraping out all of the last bits of mushroom from the pan and sprinkle the Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms with a little extra parsley and parmesan.
