Notes

    • You don't need to clean the mushrooms with water. They quickly absorb moisture and can lose their flavor and aroma if washed. If there is light dirt, you can easily remove it by wiping them with a paper towel.
    • Choose fresh and firm shiitake mushrooms. Avoid mushrooms that are slimy or have a strong, unpleasant odor. See the details below.
    • Save some of the pasta water. The starchy water can be used to adjust the consistency of the sauce if it becomes too thick.
