INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat pasta (56g dry)
1.5 oz low-fat cream cheese (42g)
1 oz Parmesan cheese (28g)
150 g cremini mushrooms
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp truffle oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (15g)
2 tbsp fresh mixed herbs (parsley & thyme)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Mince the garlic finely.
In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they have softened and released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat cream cheese until it begins to melt, creating a light creamy base.
Drizzle in the truffle oil and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously to incorporate the flavors.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy mushroom sauce.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the pasta and add the fresh mixed herbs. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately while warm.
