Linguine tossed with garlic, fresh mint, and mushrooms. This garlic mint mushroom linguine is deliciously simple and perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
  • 8 oz linguine
  • ½ cup pasta water, reserved
  • ¼ cup olive oil, separated
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons chopped mint
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
  1. In a large pot, boil water and cook linguine pasta for about 7-8 minutes or until the pasta is cooked to taste.Reserve about a half cup of pasta water and set that aside. Then drain the pasta. Run the pasta through cold water to prevent the pasta from sticking to each other and from continuing to cook. Set the pasta aside for now.
  2. In a large skillet, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium to low heat. Allow the olive oil to heat for about a minute or two, then add minced garlic. Cook the garlic until it becomes aromatic and slightly browned. Next, add mushrooms, and cook the mushrooms until softened.
  3. Add the linguine to the skillet. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil over the noodles and add the pasta water. Toss the linguine until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Lastly, add the roughly chopped mint and toss until incorporated.
  5. Serve the garlic mint mushroom linguine with salt and pepper to taste.
