This creamy mushroom pasta is loaded with mushrooms. They are apparently quite good for you but more importantly, mushrooms are delectable. You can sauté them with garlic and salt or let them dance with a dash of cream and they morph into umami rich deliciousness. This creamy mushroom pasta dish is super quick to put together, and in my mind, it makes up for those pasta carbs thanks to all the vegetables you get to add to it. Isn’t that how diets work?
