Pairing the smells of summer, bright and green, with just a splash of thick cream and earthy mushrooms, all tossed with warm pasta makes an inviting comfort food for winter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked whole wheat Israeli couscous
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 2 cups baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a sauté pan. Add in the shallots and cook for 3 minutes before adding the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms start to brown around the edges and are cooked through.
