Spaghetti Aglio e Olio With Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes & Basil instructions
Heat two liters water in a wide-mouthed pot. Let it come to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, add a handful of salt and mix. The reason why we need to add the salt is so that we can season the spaghetti as it cooks in the water. Cook the spaghetti till al dente by following the package instructions. Drain and set aside..
Heat olive oil and butter in a pan. Add the cherry tomatoes to the oil and saute for just about thirty seconds in low heat, till they just start to blister. Now remove the tomatoes in a bowl and keep aside..
In a same pan, add oil, keep the heat at low and add the garlic, slow cook the garlic in the lowest heat possible, till it releases all its juices into the oil and does not burn. Further add mushrooms and saute it for 2-3mins. Add the chili flakes and pizza seasoning to the oil and let it cook with the garlic and mushrooms for about three to five seconds..
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper as per your preference. I usually add about one tablespoon. Add the cooked and hot spaghetti to this and season. Finish off with a splash of some salty pasta water. Toss with a pair of tongs till it all comes together. Keep the heat at low at all times..
Now add some fresh basil leaves and tomatoes, and saute it for 2-3mins..
Turn off the gas, and garnish it with a generous grating of Parmesan cheese and serve hot!.
