Instructions
Add all ingredients to a large stock pot. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring periodically to mix the ingredients and submerge pasta in the liquid.
Boil for 3 minutes and reduce heat to medium to allow the mixture to simmer.
Place the lid on the pan allowing about a 1- inch opening. Allow the pasta to simmer, stirring every few minutes to thoroughly mix ingredients together.
Cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the pasta is softened and al dente.For regular spaghetti this will take around 10 minutes. For gluten-free brown rice spaghetti about 15 minutes. ** Divide between 4 bowls and top with grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
Notes
*To maintain the structure of mushrooms, using a mushroom brush or a dampened paper towel to lightly rub the surface of the mushroom cap removing any debris are easy ways to clean the mushrooms before cooking them.**Cooking TimesThe type of pasta being used and altitude will make a different in the cooking times. These are general guidelines. Taste the pasta for doneness.Storing Leftovers This pasta is best eaten freshly made especially if using gluten-free pasta. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.Adapted from Martha Stewart
