Farfalle with Mushrooms

I like to use a fairly flat noodle, such as farfalle, with mushroom sauces. Do try to use one of the varieties of brown mushrooms suggested for a full-bodied flavor.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

10 to 12 ounces farfalle (bowtie pasta)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
10 to 12 ounces cremini, baby bella, or white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese or Parmesan-style soy cheese, plus more for topping, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat, just until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 1 minute.

    Step 3

    Add the mushrooms. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released some liquid, about 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Combine the pasta with the mushroom mixture in a serving container. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss together. Season with salt and pepper and serve, passing around additional Parmesan cheese for topping, if desired.
