Shiitake Mushroom Pasta

20230125 #breakfastdiary 659, -17°C/clear, 11min/workout There's been some buzz lately about a Korea Consumer Agency report on the durability of nonstick pan coatings. Apparently it involved scrubbing coated pans with a steel wool pad as a kind of stress test — I'm not entirely sure that's a fair method. As with most things in this world, it's probably best not to take it as gospel, just file it away as a data point. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté shiitake mushrooms with a little salt. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add minced garlic and sauté a bit more, then add a splash of pasta water, the noodles, and butter, along with pepper, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Plate it neatly and finish with more parmesan. *It's best to trim off the shiitake stems before using them.
