Recipe Tips:
Make-Ahead: You can prepare the shallots, mushrooms, and black garlic butter in advance, and store them in the refrigerator. We recommend making the pasta and tossing it with the sauce right before you’re ready to serve.
Storage: If you have leftovers and want to reheat this dish, add more black garlic butter and a splash of water before reheating. This will coat the pasta in the sauce again.
