Instructions

1
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente.
2
Meanwhile, in a wide pan over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté without stirring for 2–3 minutes until golden brown, then stir and sauté for another 2 minutes.
3
Reduce the heat and add the chopped garlic and pepper. Sauté just until the garlic becomes fragrant (about 30 seconds).
4
Pour in the white wine (or a ladle of pasta water) and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the flavors. Let the liquid reduce almost completely.
5
Before draining the pasta, reserve 150 ml of the cooking water. Add the drained macaroni to the pan with the mushrooms.
6
Add 100 ml of the pasta water and the grated parmesan. Stir quickly and vigorously for 1 minute to create a creamy emulsion. Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and plenty of parsley, and serve.
