🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 12 oz linguine pasta
• 2 large Portabella mushrooms
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.

2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables. Slice the Portabella mushrooms into thin strips, and chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.

3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and are browned. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the chopped broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to the skillet, cover, and steam the broccoli for another 3 minutes until tender crisp.

5. Uncover the skillet and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet, then add the cooked linguine. Mix everything together and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. If the pasta seems dry, add more of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese (if using). Enjoy!
