Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta should always be cooked al dente. Keep an eye on your pasta to make sure it doesn’t overcook. Otherwise, the pasta might break when you add it to the pan.
Reserve cooking water: Reserve some of the pasta cooking water to add it to the pan. This step is crucial to thicken the sauce and make your pasta dish look super creamy!
Use a large pan: Don’t forget that you will start by sauteeing the mushrooms, but you’ll add the pasta later, so make sure that you use a large pan.
