Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta (I used penne) according to package directions (for al dente cook 1-2 minutes less than than package directions).

Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and saute the mushrooms for 5 minutes or until starting to turn golden.

Add garlic and continue to cook one minute.

Drain water off pasta (reserving 1/4 cup pasta water). Return the pasta to the large pot and toss with reserved pasta water and olive oil.

Add mushrooms to the pasta stirring to combine and place in a large serving dish.

Top with chives and parmesan.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Mushrooms First 🍄
Pat sliced mushrooms with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture, allowing them to develop a golden crust instead of steaming in their own liquid.
Brown Butter Elevates Everything 🧈
Cook the unsalted butter until it turns golden brown and nutty before adding garlic and mushrooms, creating a deeply complex flavor base that transforms the entire dish.
Reserve Pasta Water Strategically 💧
Save 1 cup of starchy pasta cooking water before draining to create a silky sauce that emulsifies with the butter and cheese, coating every strand perfectly.
Finish with Fresh Chives Raw ✂️
Add chopped chives in the final 30 seconds off heat to preserve their delicate onion flavor and vibrant color, preventing them from becoming bitter and wilted.
Toast Garlic in Oil First 🧄
Infuse your olive oil with sliced garlic over medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding mushrooms to bloom its flavors gently and prevent burning or harsh bitterness.
