Healthy Mushroom Pasta with Lemon Sauce

the trio of trios…pasta, lemon and mushrooms. it’s as if all three foods were made to be combined together. Healthy Mushroom Pasta with Lemon Sauce has a light broth that is equal parts tart and delicious. one of my favorite toppings is actually vegan ricotta. i like to buy kite hill every now and then, ya know as a little splurge at Whole Foods.

Healthy Mushroom Pasta with Lemon Sauce seemed like the perfect excuse to buy some. oh and then top it all off with some fresh dill…dang!

alright, so this meal is actually done within 10 minutes, excluding prep time. you can just cook some pasta separately, and then in a large pan, you sauté the mushrooms in olive oil for a couple of minutes. then, you add the vegetable broth, fresh lemon juice and spices.

on those days that you want something so nourishing and hearty yet healthy, this is a wonderful choice. it should be about four servings and you can always add more veggies to give the meal more substance.

you just will want to add more vegetable broth if you add more veggies and also, choose ones that go well with lemon. i recommend Brussels sprouts or asparagus!

ah look at those pine nuts! one of my faves and NOT just for pesto :). i actually try to incorporate them into as many dishes as possible.

here’s what you’re going to need:

• shiitake mushrooms

• sliced portobello mushrooms

• 2 small lemons

• vegetable broth

• olive oil

• onion powder

• garlic powder

• sea salt

• pine nuts

don’t get me wrong, i adore a heavy vegan cream sauce, but sometimes, something super light and brothy does the trick. with minimal ingredients, you can have a pasta dish that feels like a restaurant style dish.

also, my grocery store had a few different varieties of mushroom and i couldn’t choose between which ones i wanted to use….so both!
