Rustic Garlic Butter Pasta with Roasted Broccoli and Sauteed Mushrooms


Description

This Rustic Garlic Butter Pasta is loaded with roasted broccoli, sauteed mushrooms, and Parmesan cheese. Simply perfect for an easy dinner!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head broccoli, washed and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or 2 tbs. fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc)
  • 8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, washed and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (2 cloves)
  • 1/2 tablespoon flour
  • sea salt
  • sharp, hard cheese for topping (like Parmesan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss broccoli, oil, and herbs; scatter on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring every so often to avoid burning. I usually roast until the outsides are just slightly crispy.
  2. Cook pasta according to directions. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic and season very generously with salt. Stir frequently until the mushrooms have a lightly browned outside and are soft, buttery and tasty (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Stir in the flour with the butter and mushrooms if there is too much moisture. Add pasta and stir until well combined. Stir in roasted broccoli and top with cheese.
