Method 3 Steps

1

Place a wok-style pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the garlic and shallot. When slightly colored, add the mushrooms and continue sautéing for 1-2 minutes before adding all the other ingredients except the cheese, salt, and pepper.
2

Once the tomatoes have wilted and formed a sauce, add the crumbled cheese and mix well to combine. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water (ideally from the spaghetti cooking water). Add black pepper to taste, but taste before adding salt.
3

Toss the al dente-cooked spaghetti with the sauce and serve warm, with a side of green salad or other baked vegetables.
