Ingredients

  • 64 g Fusilli
  • 500 g Mushroom
  • 35 ml Garlic-infused olive oil
  • 30 g Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 200 g Spinach (optional)
  • 4 sprigs Thyme (optional)
  • 15 g Butter (optional)
  • ½ tsp Black pepper (optional)

Method

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt it.
  2. Slice the mushrooms thick. Strip the thyme leaves.
  3. Cook the fusilli one minute shy of al dente.
  4. While the pasta cooks, warm the garlic-infused oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring until deeply golden on the first side, about 4 minutes, then toss and cook 3 minutes more with the thyme.
  5. Add the spinach and toss until wilted, about 1 minute.
  6. Reserve a mugful of pasta water, then drain.
  7. Tip the pasta into the pan with the butter and a splash of pasta water. Toss off heat until glossy.
  8. Finish with the parmesan and black pepper.
