Mushroom Spaghetti


Not sure what's wrong with me, I did not use to like eating spaghetti but of late, I have been looking forward to cooking and eating spaghetti. Was surfing the net for some yummy spaghetti recipes and I found a yummy recipe by Noob Cook. Cooked it and love it.

If you love spaghetti, and you love mushrooms, you will love this mushroom spaghetti.


Mushroom Spaghetti

Recipe by Noob Cook

  • 2 servings of spaghetti or your favourite pasta about 140-160grams
  • 200 grams fresh button or favourite mushrooms stalks discarded and caps sliced thinly
  • 10 cloves garlic peeled and sliced thinly
  • 4 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes (or substitute with finely chopped chilli padi)
  • 20 grams butter cubed
  • 20 grams Italian flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • sea salt to taste
  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste


  1. Bring a pot of water with 1 tbsp sea salt to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente (usually 2-3 minutes minus the recommended time). Drain and set aside the pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water.
  2. Heat saucepan with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add mushrooms, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir fry or saute until cooked, about 3 minutes. Set aside cooked mushrooms on a plate.
  3. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in the same pan, add garlic and chilli padi/chilli flakes (if using). Saute the garlic until it starts to turn light golden brown.
  4. Turn off the stove. The garlic will continue cooking in the hot oil on its own for a few more seconds in the hot oil, until they turn a lovely golden brown. Melt cubed butter in the garlic & oil mixture.
  5. Add cooked pasta, chopped parsley, cooked mushrooms, sea salt and black pepper (to taste). Toss to coat all the ingredients evenly, adding some reserved pasta water to help the ingredients bind together.
