This is a quick and easy upgrade to weeknight spaghetti dinner. I tend to make this low sodium, but you may want to add salt in the pasta water and while the mushrooms are cooking.

This was very good! The only thing I changed was adding a bit of the pasta water to the mushroom mixture, then added the pasta and tossed. Then I added the egg mixture while stirring into the pasta as other recipes instructed. Read More

It turned into a cheese omelette with mushrooms. There was no way this could've been a sauce???? Read More

I really liked this recipe. I was skeptical since it did not have onion or ham or a hint of creme fraiche. Given that I reduced it for only two people it is totally worth it. I added 2 more teaspoons of parmesan because I like it. I reserved 2 tbsps of the water from the spaghetti and added it as I tossed the spaghetti and mushroom mix together to make it easier for the mix to stick to the spaghetti. Will definitely make this recipe again. Read More
