I just got back from Atlanta where I spent my Saturday at Create + Cultivate speaking on a panel about food in the digital space with some women I admire a whole lot.
It sounds a lil’ cheesy but I left Saturday feeling so ridiculously inspired and really excited to try harder, try new things and all at the same time super grateful for everything. I also realized that while I love men, my favorite is women company. I work with mainly women, most of my friends are women and I really like it that way.
When I got back last night from traveling—which actually was pretty easy–all I wanted was a big bowl of autumn-like comfort. I didn’t have this Wild Mushroom Spaghetti with Orange Brown Butter in front of me because, of course, I made this a week ago, but I wanted it to be!
Ingredients for Wild Mushroom Spaghetti with Orange Brown Butter
This is Meike’s beautiful new book, Eat In My Kitchen. This wild mushroom pasta is so simple to make. And orange and brown butter is one of my favorite flavor combinations yet I had never had it in a savory capacity but it is SO GOOD. And I’m definitely going to try it again some other way (just not sure how). This book is so pretty.
The wild mushrooms—if you can’t find oysters and chanterelles—can easily be replaced with trusty creminis or button mushrooms.
I also want to put crispy sage on every single thing right now. I kinda even want to put sage in sweet stuff. But that might be a little too weird. Maybe I’ll try it this week and you should try this.

Wild Mushroom Spaghetti with Orange Brown Butter
Equipment
- 1 Large pot
Ingredients
- 7 ounces dried spaghetti
- Olive oil
- Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces chantrelles, cut in half lengthwise
- 4 ounces king oyster mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 15 fresh sage leaves
- 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice, from about 1 orange
- Freshly grated orange zest, from 1 orange
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti, according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil atop; toss the pasta (this will help it from sticking) and set aside.
- In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of butter over high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes or until al dente and golden. Season to taste with salt and a few turns of freshly ground pepper and then transfer to a medium bowl.
- Place the pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and fry the sage for about 30 seconds or until crisp and golden but not dark. Transfer the sage to a plate. Add the orange juice and deglaze the pan, using a spatula to scrape any bits and pieces off the bottom. Add the pasta and mushrooms to the pan, stir to combine, and season to taste with salt, pepper, and orange zest. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan-Reggiano, crispy sage and serve immediately.

Recipe from Eat in My Kitchen
My most favoritest fall meal is chicken & dumplings or chicken & waffles – done the Amish way! With gravy. Lots of gravy. And slow roasted chicken. 🙂
Butternut squash soup is the perfect fall dish!
My favorite fall meal is either wild rice and cranberry stuffed acorn squash, buttercup galette, or this incredible kale/pomegranate/sweet potato/quinoa/dried cherry salad with a apple cider vinaigrette. If the quinoa is warm and the squash freshly roasted it’s warm and dreamy while still feeling light.
Mmmm… orange brown butter sounds amazing…
My favorite fall dish is spaghetti with braised mushrooms and peas topped with Parmesan cheese, paired with white wine 🙂
My family LOVES french dip sandwiches.
Fall is comfort food season, even more so than winter. I find myself eating a lot of the first foods I ever learned how to make. My favorite fall meal is short pasta (ditalini is best) with a clove of garlic, chopped tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pasta water. If I’m feeling spendy, I’ll pick up a ball of good mozzarella to dice and mix in. I always make it way too salty, but that’s why it always tastes the same way it did when I was ten. And that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?
pasta with pumpkin, and browned butter sage sauce
My favorite fall meal is beef stew. I make all variations but always feel great when I make it.
My favorite fall meal is some classic pasta e fagioli with crusty bread and a dark green salad. I’ll have to try this recipe soon too 🙂
lentil stew and roasted veg! roasted sweet potatoes are my favorite!
