Author Notes
A little week night dish with a lot of richness. I love to make this in the spring when asparagus and portobello mushrooms are in season. It's not too challenging or time consuming to make, but it feels like a treat.

Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons
Olive oil, divided
-
5
cloves of garlic
-
10 ounces
soba noodles (buckwheat noodles)
-
2-3
portobello mushroom caps, thinly sliced
-
1 pound
asparagus, ends removed, cut on diagonal into 1/8" sliced
-
2-4
eggs, depending on amount of servings
-
4 tablespoons
, or to taste of Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, stir until fragrant and pale golden. Immediately add mushrooms strips, sauteeing until just softened. Remove from heat, set aside.
-
In small skillet heat last tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack 2-4 eggs into pan and cook until one side of the egg is about to set, about 2 minutes. (Make sure you do not cook the yolk through!) Remove pan from heat, cover and set aside.
-
Bring large pot of generously salted water to boil, add soba noodles. Cook though until just limp or about 5 minutes. Add sliced asparagus and continue to cook until asparagus is crisp tender, another 2 minutes. Drain noodles and asparagus, and RESERVE 1 CUP COOKING LIQUID (in caps because its been one too many times now I've forgotten to do this).
-
Return pan with mushrooms and garlic to burner over medium heat, add noodles and asparagus. Cook until heated through adding reserved liquid 1/4 cup at a time, toss to coat noodles. You will only need enough to moisten the noodles. Add Parmesan cheese and an optional drizzle of olive oil, tossing again to coat noodles.
-
Serve noodle mixture, top with egg and cheese shavings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
