Creamy Mushroom Angel Hair Pasta
A rich and satisfying pasta dish that repurposes slightly expired but safe dry angel hair pasta by combining it with a creamy mushroom sauce.
Ingredients
- 6 oz dry angel hair pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated in the creamy mushroom sauce.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
