Pasta often contains mushrooms, but not like this: mushrooms coated in flour and panko, are fried to a rich, amazing crunch and flavor, sitting atop a mound of spaghetti and pesto sauce that brings both flavor and comfort.

Meatlovers! If adding protein, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook with 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If using Impossible burger, break up burger until heated through, 4-6 minutes. If using ground chicken, break up chicken until no pink remains and chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes. If using flank steak, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook undisturbed until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. Add to pasta as desired.

Prepare the Mushrooms
Using a spoon, scoop out black undersides (gills) of portobello mushrooms. Remove stems.
Reserve 1 Tbsp. flour and set aside. Place remaining flour , 1/3 cup water, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl and stir until a thin batter forms, like a pancake batter. If too thick, stir in 1 tsp. water until desired consistency is reached.Place panko on a plate. Dip mushrooms in batter, coating completely. Then transfer to plate with panko, gently flipping until coated. -
Cook the Pasta
Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.
Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Set aside.While pasta boils, cook mushrooms. -
Cook the Mushrooms
Line a plate with a paper towel.
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add canola oil. Let heat, 5 minutes.After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of flour batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Cooking in batches if necessary, add mushrooms to hot oil and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.Remove from burner. Transfer mushrooms to towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt. -
Make the Sauce
Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add reserved 1 Tbsp. flour to hot pan and stir until no dry flour remains in pan.
Add half the reserved pasta cooking water, cream cheese, pesto, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer.Once simmering, stir until creamy, combined, and starting to thicken, 2-3 minutes.Stir in cooked pasta. Remove from burner. If too thick, add remaining pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at at time, until desired consistency is reached. -
