Ingredients

• Pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or penne) 8 oz (half a standard 1-lb box)
• Simple Truth Organic® Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (8 oz) 1 package $4.79
• Simple Truth Organic® Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms (5 oz) 1 package $5.99
• Fresh Onions – Peruvian Gold Sweet Onion (3 lb bag) 1/2 medium onion, thin-sliced $5.49
• Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs (3 ct) 4 cloves, thin-sliced or minced $2.79
• Crushed red pepper flakes 1/4–1/2 tsp
• Olive oil 2 tbsp
• Butter 1 tbsp (optional but helpful for silkiness)
• White wine (optional) or broth 1/3 cup
• Parmesan (or Pecorino) 1/3–1/2 cup, finely grated
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional) 2 tbsp chopped

Instructions

1. Boil pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
2. Brown mushrooms: While pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high with 2 tbsp olive oil. Add onions with a pinch of salt; cook 2–3 minutes. Add all mushrooms and spread out. Cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well-browned and any liquid has cooked off.
3. Add garlic & spice: Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn the garlic).
4. Deglaze: Add wine (or broth) and simmer 1–2 minutes, scraping up browned bits.
5. Make it silky: Add drained pasta plus 1/2 cup reserved pasta water. Toss 1 minute. Add butter (if using) and most of the Parmesan; toss until glossy. Add more pasta water as needed to loosen into a light sauce.
6. Finish: Season with black pepper and salt only if needed (cheese is salty). Top with remaining Parmesan and parsley if using. Serve immediately.
