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.

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
