Tasty Spaghetti with Simmered Shiitake ( Pepperoncini style )

A friend told me that spaghetti tastes extra good with simmered Shiitake. I couldn’t believe how delicious it was when I tried cooking it myself. When simmered, Shiitake lose its intense aroma, and it enhances its Umami, so cooking them this way will make them a hit even with kids. Drain the spaghetti one minute earlier than you normally would, throw it into a frying pan, and soak up some simmered Shiitake’s soup.
