Ingredients

  • King oyster mushrooms - 150 grams, sliced
  • Nori seaweed - 2 sheets, crumbled
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
  • Vegetable broth - 250 ml
  • White wine - 100 ml (optional)
  • Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Lemon - 1, juiced

Steps

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced king oyster mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden brown.
  4. Stir in the crumbled nori seaweed and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the white wine (if using) and vegetable broth. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors combine.
  6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan, tossing gently to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  7. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
  8. Plate the pasta, garnishing with additional parsley and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
