SUN DRIED TOMATO AND MUSHROOM PASTA IN A GARLIC AND BASIL SAUCE

This sun dried tomato and mushroom pasta is another wonderfully simple dish that was immediately added to our dinner menu after cooking it the first time! I have a big love for mushrooms and pasta so putting those two together is winning for me.

The combination of flavors is really great and the effort needed for this recipe makes it an acceptable weeknight dinner! It is now a favorite pasta dish for my husband and me!

The cute 11 year old in our home does not like tomatoes or mushrooms so I have not attempted to make this when we have her. I look forward to her taste buds evolving as she gets older; I remember plenty of foods I didn’t care for as a child and love now!

Ingredients

• 1 lb fettuccine (454g) or other pasta, cooked until al dente and tossed with 2 tablespoons butter
