Mushroom Spaghetti
I could eat spaghetti EVERY DAY! It’s one of those meals that feels like home. And when you add terrific flavors like onions, garlic, and a veggie, it makes it even better! This Mushroom Spaghetti is a wonderful dish if you are by yourself or if you are cooking for the family or even date night!
Another big bonus to this dish is that it all comes together to create a one-pan meal. I love being able to serve dinner in one big pan and this does that perfectly. With that said, you will be making the spaghetti in a separate pot while the mushrooms and onions are cooking.
I love using a cast iron skillet for almost every one-pan dish I make. The only downside is that these pans don’t have lids. This makes it harder to cook the spaghetti in the pan. But a cast iron skillet is perfect for this dish.
Once the mushrooms, onions, and garlic are finished, you will drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet. And mix.
Next, I added two tablespoons of chopped parsley to the dish for a little color and flavor.
I topped it off with some freshly grated parmesan cheese (one of my favorites). Isn’t this the perfect dish!!!! I would recommend a nice red wine with this dish. Maybe a Cab or a Pinot Noir.
