spaghetti with garlic and mushrooms – serving

A recipe like this one is convenient and effortless. I usually have some type of mushroom that makes this recipe very convenient because the other ingredients are are always available in my pantry. Spaghetti, for example is a staple in everyone’s pantry. Garlic and parsley, who does not cook with them? And not to forget oil, salt and pepper – so what is keeping you from creating quick and easy meals for your family?

How should I explain the recipe? A recipe as such does not need lots of explanation because it is very basic. The only thing I would recommend is to be careful not to burn the garlic. Burnt garlic in pasta when not intended is usually not a good combination, unless it is roasted and recommended.

Burnt garlic has a tendency to be bitter and therefore will make any dish a bit bitter with a rancid taste. I don’t think anyone would want to eat a pasta dish with a bitter and rancid taste. Not me, I can tell you that. I don’t believe you would also.

spaghetti with garlic and mushrooms – prepping

This is a dish that you can prepare in minutes for dinner. You can either serve it with a side of Caesar salad for example and with grilled or roasted seafood or simply roasted chicken. You see I did not mention red meat, right? The reason is because of experience. For some reason every time I have red meat if it is not with grilled or roasted with tons of spices it is not satisfying to my taste. You may think otherwise. I love bold flavors and lots of spices and therefore my palette has to be satisfied with my meal combination. Try this dish today or even this weekend if you have time.
