Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and saute until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 3

Then add the sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms. Saute until tender and cooked through.

Step 4

Add the soy sauce and ground black pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of water a to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to directions on the package.

Step 6

Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to move the noodles from the pot to the pan with the mushrooms. Add in about a half-cup of the pasta water to the pan.

Step 7

Over medium-low heat, gently toss the pasta with the mushrooms. The starchy pasta water will help bind the sauce to the noodles. Cook for another minute until well combined.

Step 8

Divide between two plates. Eat and enjoy! ^_^
