Pasta is one of the most comforting dishes out there, but it can also be one of the heaviest. Replacing meat with mushrooms makes this recipe a bit lighter but still as comforting. The mushrooms are cooked with a bit of butter, red peppers, and herbs to create a deep, rich flavor.

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large portobello mushrooms, cut into strips

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground basil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
