"The method and ingredients yield delicious mushrooms with a depth of flavor I've not found in other recipes! This recipe comes together very quickly if you prep all the ingredients before starting. Adapted from a Food & Wine recipe. Original recipe called for Parmesan cheese - and while I love fresh Parm - I just don't like it in this recipe. It also called for 1 lb brown mushrooms and 1 lb fresh shitake mushrooms - but I much prefer all brown."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Start a large pot of water to boiling (for pasta).
Step 2
In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, cover and cook over moderately high heat for 5 minutes, stirring once.
Step 3
Uncover and cook over HIGH heat, stirring once, until the mushrooms are browned all over, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sliced garlic, the shallot and rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the Marsala and cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Step 6
Stir in the minced garlic, olives and the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover and keep warm.
Step 7
Add salt to the boiling water, then cook the spaghetti until al dente; drain. Return the spaghetti to the pot. Stir in the butter and mushrooms and adjust seasoning if need be.
Optional: Stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, if using.
Step 8
Transfer the spaghetti to bowls, sprinkle with the chives and serve, passing more Parmesan at the table.
Note: The mushrooms also taste great served over polenta or cheese grits, rather than pasta.
