1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to its directions. When the pasta is finished cooking, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to turn golden brown.
3. Add the minced garlic into the pan along with the salt and pepper. Cook and stir constantly for one more minute.
4. Turn the heat to low and add two more tablespoons of butter, the pasta, the reserved pasta water, and the parmesan cheese. Toss with tongs to coat.
5. Taste the pasta and season more to taste if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley.
