Step 1
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, ~8 minutes. Reserve 0.5 cup pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
Step 3
Add sliced mushrooms. Cook without stirring 2 minutes until the bottoms brown, then stir and cook 3–4 minutes more.
Step 4
Add garlic and remaining 1 tbsp butter. Stir constantly for 60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add cooked pasta and 0.25 cup pasta water to the skillet. Toss over heat for 90 seconds to emulsify.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Add parmesan and toss gently. Add reserved pasta water 1 tbsp at a time if too dry.
Step 7
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately while the sauce is glossy and clings to the pasta.
