Delicious Mushroom Pasta!

Music Share: Thinking by Marian Hill

The 15 Minute Garlic Mushroom Pasta (No Cream) recipe courtesy of The Clever Meal is just so good! I made it for the second time over the weekend, and if was possible to love it even more than the first time, I did!

Now, y'all know me......I rarely follow a recipe to the letter. The first time I make a recipe, I follow it pretty closely. All while making mental notes to what I would adjust. The linked recipe is a solid recipe though. I just like to adjust for my needs and palate. Below are a few of my "adjustments."

• Used gluten free pasta/rice noodles (I used A Taste of Thai Rice Noodles Linguine)
• I always use more garlic than is written! The recipe called for four cloves, I used about six
• Used lightly dried parsley instead of fresh. Gourmet Garden is one of my favorite brands for lightly dried herbs

The first time I tried this recipe, I mistakenly thought that a quarter teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes wasn't enough. It is. It adds a slight kick which is very nice!

I have not made this with regular noodles. Gluten free noodles have a different texture. If you regularly use gluten free noodles, you will know what I mean. 

As always, this dish is better after it's had a chance to sit or the next day. I reheat using a bit of broth.
