Healthy mushroom pasta

August 10, 2011 //  by Donielle Baker

A few weeks ago I grew my own mushrooms for this recipe. Amazed at the process and how quickly they grew, I have decided that yes….homegrown foods are always better. It’s always a wonderful thing when you can pick your food just moments before cooking! I’ve had NEVER liked mushrooms and I think it’s because I’ve always had them out of a can – this healthy mushroom pasta is changing my mind.

Below are the mushrooms I grew! I knew they grew fast, but I was still amazed. It seemed like every time I looked at them they were bigger!

Mushrooms are a good source of B vitamins (read here why vitamin B is so pivotal for fertility) as well as many minerals like selenium, copper, and potassium. Useful in many types of dishes, mushrooms are quite a versatile food. This creamy pasta dish combines both the flavors of a tomato sauce and a white sauce, we were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful flavor.

I’ve never been a huge fan of mushrooms, but these may have just won me over a bit – at least in using fresh mushrooms!

This creamy mushroom pasta is best served with a side salad and some homemade Italian dressing.

I’ve since added a few handfuls of fresh spinach into the sauce for an extra boost of nutrition and pop of color.

VARIATIONS – use brown rice pasta for a gluten-free version and zucchini noodles for a keto version.
