Then put water and kitchen salt in a pot and wait till the water starts boiling.

In the meanwhile wash the parsley and break it into bits.

Squeeze the mushrooms and cut them into pieces. When the onion starts browning, add the mushrooms and the parsely. Salt and pepper.

When the water starts boiling, put  the pasta in it. In this way, when the pasta is ready the mushrooms will have cooked enough.
