Cacio e Pepe Pasta with Roasted Mushrooms

Chef notes

Roasted mushrooms add an earthy element to this cheesy pasta. They also give this delicious vegetarian-friendly dish a meaty texture.

Technique tip: Don't crowd the mushrooms on the sheet tray. If they're too close together they'll turn out soggy. Spread them out so they have enough room to get nice and crisp. 

Swap option: If hen-of-the-woods (maitake) mushrooms are not available, feel free to swap in your favorite mushrooms.
