Equipment
- large skillet

Ingredients
- 12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to package directions. Reserve ⅔ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped garlic and season with Kosher salt and ground pepper; cook for 1 minute to allow the garlic to release its fragrance.

Notes
Reserve the pasta water to help thicken the sauce. Fresh mushrooms are recommended over canned for better flavor. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
