Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Step 2

    While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic and oregano; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and let bubble gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Step 5

    Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.

  6. Step 6

    Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat, adding pasta water as needed for a silky sauce.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately, topped with grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
