Ingredients

• 12 ounces Pasta (spaghetti, penne, or fettuccine)
• 16 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 24 ounces Marinara sauce
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces.

Step 3

Toss the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned mushrooms evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Roast the mushrooms in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 6

While the mushrooms are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Add the roasted mushrooms to the marinara sauce and stir to combine.

Step 10

Toss the cooked pasta with the marinara-mushroom mixture, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if necessary to loosen the sauce.

Step 11

Stir in the fresh basil and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12

Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
