Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
6 ounces pasta such as spaghetti; reserve ½ cup cooking water
½ cup grated parmesan plus more for serving; I like Violife to make this recipe dairy-free/vegan
1-2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta as directed. Strain pasta and reserve ½ cup of the cooking water in a measuring cup. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet or pot, warm the oil over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until liquid starts to release, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more, until fragrant.
Once the pasta is cooked, add the ½ cup grated parmesan and the reserved cooking water to the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic. Stir until a creamy sauce forms.
Add pasta to the skillet, along with lemon juice and stir to combine. Serve warm garnished with parmesan, and enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition Facts are a rough estimate and includes values for red lentil spaghetti and vegan parmesan cheese. If you'd like to make the meal lighter, reduce to pasta to 4 ounces and parmesan to 1/4 cup.
