2. Cooking Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for cooking pasta.
  2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  3. Meanwhile, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes or according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
  4. Add the pasta, the reserved cooking liquid, Parmesan and 1/4 cup basil to the mushrooms in the skillet; toss to coat well. Serve immediately, garnished with remaining basil.

Yield: 4 servings

EatingWell reader Sidra Goldman of Washington, D.C., contributed this fresh-tasting whole-wheat pasta recipe. Lemon zest accents the basil beautifully.

Notes:

Ingredient Note

Whole-wheat pastas are higher in fiber than white pastas. They can be found in health-food stores and some large supermarkets.

  • Delish...but the calorie count can't be right

    mtriciam%40rogers.com - January 9, 2007 04:10:42 PM PST
    I made this and it\'s delish!
    I substituted dill for basil though (stirred it all into the sauce instead of using 1/4 c for topping)...and I added a few chopped sundried tomatoes.
    The calorie count can\'t be possible though, unless it\'s just for the sauce. The pasta alone (even the healthiest I could find) is 310 calories for 1 1/2 cups.

  • Where's the fettuccine?

    kristi.tong%40rogers.com - May 28, 2007 06:55:40 PM PST
    This recipe\'s list of ingredients is missing a key item! The fettuccine! No mention of how much to use and the nutritional info is lacking for it as well. Don\'t be fooled by the low calories....it\'s a huge mistake!

  • Good but I made some changes

    Teresa - September 5, 2007 09:07:13 AM PST
    This recipe was good but I made a few adjustments.
    I made it the first time exactly how the recipe states and found it to be too lemony. Also it seemed to be too dry. I doubled the "sauce" ingredients but cut the lemon zest way down. I also added some grilled chicken.

  • Nothing Special

    bookwormmay2004 - January 12, 2007 12:37:11 PM PST
    I cooked this for my husband and I last night, it didn\'t go over well. The only thing that made this dish tasty was the mushrooms. I also did not like the fact that whenever I added the cheese in the end of the recipe it clumped together and looked horrible. I am guessing the lemon zest and lemon juice acidity caused this I don\'t know. I don\'t ever think I will cook this again.

  • Needs more mushrooms

    Alison O - June 17, 2007 09:43:03 PM PST
    I think the mushrooms are what make this dish. Next time I would double the mushrooms and use less pasta. I also had a problem with the cheese melting into clumps.
