Terrific, after work, almost meatless, meal. Omit the bacon and it's vegetarian. Omit the bacon, butter and Parmesan and it's vegan. Add a little cream or 1/2 & 1/2 to make it richer. An easy to play with recipe. I especially love the pine nuts in this and usually add more.

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb fresh shiitake mushrooms or 1/2 lb white button mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 teaspoon truffle oil (optional)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti to al dente per package instructions, in salted water.
  • While spaghetti is cooking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; add bacon.
  • Cook, stirring often, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes.
  • Add garlic; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water; transfer pasta to a large bowl.
  • Pour enough of the pasta water into the mushroom mixture to make a sauce; cook, stirring, to dislodge any flavorful browned bits from the pan, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the butter.
  • Add mushroom mixture to the pasta; toss.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and pine nuts.
  • Drizzle truffle oil over the pasta; toss.
  • Pass the grated cheese at the table.
