Mushroom Garlic Spaghetti

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is generally less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions. Once time is up, reserve 2/3 cup of the pasta water then drain.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and season with a pinch of salt and pepper; cook for 1 minute more to allow the garlic to release its fragrance.

While the pan is still on heat, add the drained pasta to the skillet together with the shredded cheese and reserved pasta water.

Use a pair of tongs to toss well until the sauce forms and coats the pasta.

Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
