01 Step
Recipe View
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
03 Step
Recipe View
While the pasta cooks, place mushrooms in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook until they begin to brown and release their moisture, about 3-5 minutes.
04 Step
Recipe View
Add olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
05 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and half of the Parmesan cheese until well combined.
06 Step
Recipe View
Drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic.
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove the skillet from the heat. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot pasta, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
08 Step
Recipe View
Serve immediately, topped with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
For a richer flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties, such as cremini and shiitake.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using pre-grated cheese, as it doesn't melt as smoothly.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your personal preference. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Don't overcook the eggs! The residual heat from the pasta and skillet will cook the eggs to a creamy consistency. If the skillet is too hot, the eggs will scramble.
