Pasta with Sautéed Mushrooms

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 0.33 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil

• 12 oz (340 g) Shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 0.25 inch thick

• 12 oz (340 g) Cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced 0.25 inch thick

• 0.5 Onion, chopped fine

• Sea salt and pepper (to taste)

• 3 Garlic cloves, minced

• 1.33 tbsp Minced fresh thyme

• 2 oz (57 g) Coconut milk

• 1.25 cups Vegetable Broth or Stock

• 0.5 oz (14 g) Dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed and minced

• 16 oz (454 g) Spaghetti Squash, prepared

• 2 tbsp Minced fresh parsley

Preparation

1. Heat the 0.33 tbsp of oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shiitakes, cremini, onion, and 0.25 tsp sea salt. Cover and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 8 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the mushrooms are dry and browned, approximately 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 0.5 minutes (30 seconds); transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover.

2. Add the broth and porcini to the now-empty skillet, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer until the porcini are softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in the coconut milk, and season with sea salt and pepper to taste; cover and set aside.

3. Stir together the spaghetti squash, cooked vegetables, porcini mixture, and parsley, then season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
