2. Cooking Directions
- In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, and the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced to about 1 cup, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain. Toss the spaghetti with the mushroom sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the Parmesan. Serve with more cheese.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Here's a great weeknight pasta that highlights one of our favorite mushrooms and takes only minutes to prepare. The combination of earthy shiitakes and sharp cheese is perfect with lots of black pepper.
Notes:
Variation
Add a couple of tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon, thyme, or parsley, to the spaghetti along with the Parmesan.

One of my favorite new recipes!
djsugarmuffin - May 3, 2007 04:45:51 PM PSTThis is a delicious and easy meal to make. The only ingredient I need to buy fresh are the shiitake mushrooms. Everything else is in my pantry already. I added a little more pepper than the recipe called for because I like freshly ground pepper. But it's good just as it is. You should try it!

Excellent Easy
jaycee_60 - January 21, 2008 07:42:02 PM PSTRegular Mushrooms, will work to,( Canned also work well when you cannot find Shiitake,or Portobello/Portobella which is also, another name for Brown Crimini, just the Crimini is a little smaller, the difference in the names are just for marketing values same things, tho) i make this alot, and at times another additions would be which this one is a "Must" add, is Sundried Tomatoes in Olive Oil, other add in would be Shrimp, Shallots, Or Green Onions, also use a combo of different Italian Cheeses, Like Romano, Asiago, Fontina, and of Course Parmigano! Also wine can be added while making the sauce.
