"No meat in this one. My husband needs meat with his dinner, (or thinks he does!), so I serve it with chicken cutlets. This recipe is from Cookies & Cups website. She is a fantastic cook!"

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 pint grape tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1 lb cremini mushroom, sliced

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the tomatoes onto the sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast your tomatoes for 10-12 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add in the mushrooms and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper and season well with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes.
3. While the mushrooms are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water, and drain pasta.
4. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the mushrooms and melt. Add in the drained pasta, pasta water, and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly to coat pasta and melt cheese.
5. Sprinkle with parsley and fold in roasted tomatoes.
6. Serve immediately.

Wow, was this good. We loved it. So much flavor and excellent textures. It was easy to make and tasted amazing. We enjoyed the flavor that the mushrooms, garlic and roasted tomatoes brought to the dish. didn't have any spagetti pasta left so I used a pasta called (Gemelli) that absorbed the sauce beautifully. It worked well in this dish. Thanks so much for sharing.

We loved this spaghetti! The only change made was I used less red pepper flakes. Great as a side dish, easy to make and delicious! Made and reviewed for Susie's World Tour 2019 - Italy
