One of the most recent recipes that went viral on the social media sphere is lemon pasta–courtesy of Emily Mariko (yes, the same person that was behind the whole TikTok Salmon Rice bowl craze last year!).

But it’s no surprise as to why it’s been getting a lot of love. A variation of the traditional Italian dish, pasta al limone, it’s a simple recipe requiring only a handful of ingredients that can easily be found in your pantry or fridge.

Garlic Lemon Pasta with Mushroom

As a certified garlic girl, I knew I wanted to incorporate as much of the ingredient into this dish. So inspired by one of my favorite pasta dishes, Aglio E Olio, I used a lot of garlic and chili flakes in this recipe.

When it comes to adding toppings to pasta, I feel like you can never go wrong with mushrooms. However, feel free to change it up with your choice of protein by adding chicken or shrimp to your pasta!

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Button mushrooms
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic
  • Pasta: I used pappardelle, but other ones such as spaghetti, linguine, and angel hair pasta are great options as well.
  • Chili flakes
  • Lemon juice
  • Pasta water
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Parsley
  • Parmesan cheese

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

Instructions

  1. Add butter to a pan over medium heat and let it melt. Add mushroom and lightly season with salt and pepper. Sauté and let it cook until it browns (3-4 minutes) and remove from the pan.
  2. Boil pasta according to package instructions.
  3. In the same pan that you cook the mushroom, turn heat down to medium low and add garlic and chili flakes. Let it cook and stir occasionally for at least 10 minutes until before it turns golden brown.
  4. Turn the heat down to low and add pasta water, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and sugar. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add pasta and mushrooms. Mix until well combined. Serve with a parsley and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes for Garlic Mushroom Lemon Pasta

  • Adjust accordingly: Adjust the amount of garlic, chili flakes and seasoning based on your preference.
  • Mushroom seasoning: Season the mushroom to taste. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried rosemary.
  • Glossy pasta: For extra glossiness, add 1 tbsp of butter and mix until it melts.

The sauce is just sweet soy sauce (kicap/kecap manis), light soy sauce and water!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
