Step 1

In a large saucepan add olive oil, mushrooms, salt, garlic, chopped Italian parsley, hot pepper flakes and water. Cook on medium heat for approximately 20-25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and water has evaporated.

Step 2

While mushrooms are cooking cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, drain then add to the cooked mushrooms along with half a ladle of pasta water. Cook on medium heat while tossing until water has evaporated and becomes almost creamy. Serve immediately. Top with freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese if desired. Enjoy!
