Ingredients

  • 8 oz dry pasta (Your choice -- rotini or other small shapes work well)
  • ½ tsp olive oil
  • 8 oz button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 2 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add pasta and cook 7-9 minutes (or as directed by the package) until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and run cold water over it to cool the pasta down and keep it from continuing to cook. (If you would prefer your pasta salad warm, drain the pasta, but skip the cold water.) Transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté over medium high heat until the mushrooms and garlic are golden, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the mushroom mixture to the pasta along with the remaining ingredients. Mix well until the seasonings have evenly coated the pasta.
