  • 1 cup diced carrots 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced

  • 3/4 cup uncooked farfalle or penne pasta

Directions

  1. Drain mushrooms and pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until they start to brown.
  2. Stir in onion, carrots, celery, garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring often, until onion pieces soften.
