Ingredients

• Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine) - 160 grams
• Mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and oyster) - 200 grams, sliced
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Vegetable broth - 200 ml
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and have released their moisture.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional nutritional yeast to taste.
