Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams whole grain pasta
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 150 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup low-fat chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon truffle oil
- 20 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole grain pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta, reserving half a cup of the pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.
Pour in the low-fat broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta and mix gently to distribute the flavor throughout the dish.
Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring again until the cheese is melted and incorporated with the pasta.
Finally, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta just before serving, enhancing the dish with a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve the pasta hot, with additional Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
