Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Notes
Variation Add a couple of tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon, thyme, or parsley, to the spaghetti along with the Parmesan.
Suggested Pairing
The mix of flavors opens the door to all sorts of wine choices. To match the earthiness of the mushrooms, try a white based on the Chardonnay grape; a Bourgogne Blanc from France would be particularly good. To echo the black pepper, look for a red with a similar flavor, such as a Dolcetto from Italy or a Petite Sirah from California.
