Author Notes

Yes, you do have to make the pasta separately, but the sauce is so hands-off that it practically cooks itself, so you will have bought yourself some extra time! The combination of earthy mushrooms with creamy pasta makes for a wonderful blend of flavors.

How should I make this without an air fryer? thanks

The mushrooms were amazing, but when combined with the Spaghetti, I felt the dish overall was a bit dry. Any recommendations as to how to maybe improve that? Would love to keep this in our menu rotation.

Retain 1/4C of the pasta water and add it a little at a time to the pasta/sauce mixture until you get a consistency that pleases you. (not if you are doing cauliflower rice, though, it might skew the taste.)
