Ingredients

• Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 medium
• Mushrooms (sliced, any variety) - 200 grams
• Tomato paste - 1 tablespoon

• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened and browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
