Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until 1 minute shy of al dente, according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, make the sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 4 tablespoons of butter over medium. When the butter is melted and starts to foam, add garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring only occasionally to ensure garlic doesn't burn, until mushrooms start browning on the edges, about 6 to 7 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 12 to 15 cranks of pepper. If the pasta is still cooking, remove the skillet from the heat and set aside until pasta is ready.
Step 3
Return the skillet to medium low. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and soy sauce, allowing butter to melt into the soy sauce before combining with the mushrooms. Add pasta and 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Cook, adding more pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed, until pasta is glossy, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Top with sliced scallions and shredded nori. Serve immediately.
