Ingredients

- 3 cups black trumpet mushrooms, loosely packed

- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

- 1/4 cup fresh-grated Parmesan cheese

- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

- 2 tbsp sea salt (for pasta water)

- 1/2 tsp pink sea salt (for mushrooms)

- 8 ounces pasta noodles

Preparation:

Step 1 - Sauté Mushrooms

In a sauté pan, cook the mushrooms with 1/2 tsp salt and enough water to cover them. Cook on medium-high heat until water has almost evaporated, about 20-30 minutes. This ensures the mushrooms are thoroughly cooked and their texture is ideal.

Step 2 - Add Olive Oil and Herbs

Add olive oil and fresh herbs to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the remaining water evaporate. Be careful not to burn the herbs.

Step 3 - Cook Pasta

In a separate pot, boil water with sea salt. Cook the pasta until al dente, then strain.

Step 4 - Combine Ingredients and Garnish

Combine the pasta with the mushroom mixture over low heat, tossing to mix. Serve hot, garnished with fresh-grated Parmesan cheese.
