Ingredients

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, (1 ounce)
½ cup chopped fresh basil, divided
8 oz. whole-wheat fettuccine, or spaghetti
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
¼ tsp. salt, or to taste
2 tbsp. lemon juice, juice
2 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest
2 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced (1½ cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Method

01

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for cooking pasta.
02

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.
03

Meanwhile, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes or according to package directions. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid.
