Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Save 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
- To make the mushroom pea sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they are softened. Stir in the garlic and cook stirring constantly for 30 seconds.
