parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: spinach

Spinach adds nutrients while dried herbs are more economical.

Saute sliced portobello and white mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter and a splash of olive oil until golden brown, stirring continuously.

Add salt and pepper to the mushrooms while cooking to help release water.

3

Once mushrooms are browned, add 4 cloves of minced garlic and stir.

4

Pour in 4 ounces of cooking sherry and let it reduce down to almost nothing.

5

Add 2 cups of chicken stock to the pan and let it simmer and reduce.

6

In a separate pot, boil salted water and add 1 pound of fettuccine pasta, cooking for 7 minutes.

7

With a couple of minutes left on the pasta, add chopped fresh chives and thyme to the sauce and mix.

Stir in 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce until melted and combined.

Drain the pasta (do not rinse) and mix it with the sauce, letting it thicken.
