Ingredients

  • ½ pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. 2. Meanwhile, place mushrooms in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook until they begin to brown and release moisture, 3 to 5 minutes. Add oil and garlic. Fry until softened, about 3 minutes more. 3. Beat eggs together in a bowl. Add 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well and stir into cooked mushroom mixture. 4. Serve spaghetti topped with mushroom sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese.

Tips & Variations

Rest your meat

Let cooked meat rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting to keep juices inside.

Season generously

Season at each stage of cooking, not just at the end.

Al dente pasta

Cook pasta until it's still slightly firm - it will continue cooking in the sauce.
