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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta and mix gently to distribute the flavor throughout the dish.
Step 7
Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring again until the cheese is melted and incorporated with the pasta.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta just before serving, enhancing the dish with a fresh burst of flavor.
Step 9
Serve the pasta hot, with additional Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
