Al-Fresco Pasta

Pasta Blend
Serves 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound fresh or dry pasta of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon ghee and 1 tablespoon olive oil (or 2 tablespoons olive oil if vegan)
  • 1/2 tablespoon capers, plus 1/2 tablespoon juice from capers’ jar
  • 2 cups Guan’s Pasta Blend Mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Pinch of chili flake
  • Handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • Handful toasted pine nuts
  • Sea salt
  • A few generous handfuls of parmesan cheese, or vegan parmesan

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water (about 1 tablespoon) to a rolling boil. Add in the pasta and cook as the package instructs.
  • In the meantime, warm the olive oil and ghee in a medium-sized sauté pan over medium heat for a minute. Bring the heat down to medium-low and add in the capers, mushrooms and a pinch of sea salt. Let this cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are cooked through and the capers are a bit crunchy.
  • Once the pasta has cooked, drain it and then add the noodles to the caper-oil, along with the caper juice, chili flakes and lemon juice. Mix well. Let the pasta cool down for a few minutes. Toss in the parsley, pine nuts, parmesan and extra sea salt. Serve in bowls and enjoy!
