Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Angel hair pasta
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Baby bella mushrooms
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions, typically 4-6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Slice the baby bella mushrooms into thin pieces.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their liquid and reduce in size.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat the noodles in the sauce.
Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and a teaspoon of lemon juice for a bright finish.
Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
