black garlic pasta

This Black Garlic Pasta tastes rich and decadent, without being heavy.

Black Garlic Pasta

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a 10-inch nonstick skillet.

Add sliced shallots and mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper.

Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until shallots and mushrooms are softened and beginning to brown.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil.

Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the cooked pasta.

Add the pasta to the pan with the shallots and mushrooms.

Add black garlic butter and red pepper flakes, and toss.

Add reserved water a bit at a time, until the pasta is coated in a thin sauce (you may not need all the reserved water).

Serve, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and chopped chives or parsley.
