Everyone needs a quick and easy dinner and pasta is as easy as it gets. This easy pasta dish incorporates earthy mushrooms and seasonal ingredients like fennel and sage for a flavorful meal.
Fennel
If you’ve never tried fennel before, it is a crunchy vegetable which is a member of the carrot family. When raw it has a slightly sweet anise/licorice flavor and when cooked like in this recipe, becomes even sweeter and is so good in this dish.
Vegetarian
This is a vegetarian dish but you will not miss the meat because the mushrooms have a wonderful, meaty chew to them. This is one of my favorite vegetarian pasta dishes. Anytime you add mushrooms to a meat-free meal, you still get the meaty bite from the mushrooms and find that you don’t even miss the meat. I have to have a good crusty bread with my pasta. I love this sesame loaf that I get at my grocery store (pic below). Drizzled with olive oil and broiled until golden brown, I could make a meal of it with a chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano.
