    Title: Mushroom Wafu Pasta
    Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Mushrooms, Sauces
    Yield: 5 servings

    Salt & black pepper
    1 lb Spaghetti; pref bronze-cut
    1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil
    8 tb Unsalted butter
    6 cl Garlic; minced
    1 lb Shiitake mushrooms; stems
    - trimmed(if dry), separated
    - & torn by hand
    1/4 c Soy sauce
    3 Scallions; fine sliced, as
    - garnish
    Shredded, roasted nori or
    - 1/2 of a nori sheet in
    - thin matchsticks, garnish

    Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook
    pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the
    package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then
    drain.

    While pasta cooks, make the sauce: In a large skillet,
    heat olive oil and 4 tablespoons of butter over medium.
    When the butter is melted and starts to foam, add garlic
    and mushrooms. Cook, stirring only occasionally to
    ensure garlic doesn't burn, until mushrooms start
    browning on the edges, about 6 to 7 minutes. Season
    w/1/2 tS salt and about 12 to 15 cranks of pepper. If
    the pasta is still cooking, remove the skillet from the
    heat and set aside until pasta is ready.

    Return the skillet to medium low. Push the mushrooms to
    one side of the skillet. Add remaining 4 tablespoons
    butter and soy sauce, allowing butter to melt into the
    soy sauce before combining with the mushrooms. Add pasta
    and ½ cup of the pasta water to the skillet, tossing to
    coat with the sauce. Cook, adding more pasta water 1
    tablespoon at a time as needed, until pasta is glossy,
    about 1 minute.

    Remove from heat. Top with sliced scallions and shredded
    nori. Serve immediately.
