I started this blog for my kids. I wanted them to have a record of their favorite recipes while growing up. But today, I am sharing this Sage Baby Bella Mushrooms with Pasta recipe for me! Neither one of my kids likes mushrooms. Maybe they will someday, but at this point, mushrooms are still a no go as far as they are concerned. As my mom always said, “That’s okay! That leaves more for me”.
My husband on the other hand absolutely loves just about every variety of mushroom he has ever tried. I am a little pickier. Portobella and Baby Bellas like I used in this recipe are probably my favorite.
This Sage Baby Bella Mushrooms with Pasta is a simple dish that is a breeze to fix and is perfect for those warm summer evenings. I really enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day.
How to Prepare the Mushrooms
First of all, melt a little bit of butter along with some Olive Oil.
Add in the sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Meanwhile, start a large pot of water boiling. Add a good pinch of salt and some Linguine or Fettuccine Pasta. You can reserve a little of the pasta water to loosen up everything when you mix it all together.
Add a bit of minced garlic to the mushrooms and stir. Cook for another minute or so.
Add a couple of teaspoons worth of chopped fresh sage, some salt, and pepper.
When the mushrooms are done to the degree you are happy with, add the cooked pasta along with from chopped fresh parsley.
Mix everything together. Add a little bit more olive oil in addition to the reserved pasta water if you like.
Finally, top off with from Parmesan Cheese if you like. Yum!
