Pasta with Shiitake For An Elegant, Delicate Dinner [Recipe]

This pasta with shiitake is very quick to make, and it will present as a fancy, gourmet dinner. You can make this on the go when you only have a few minutes to spare. If you feel like eating something more filling, it is easy to add a few ingredients!

This Pasta with Shiitake Takes Minutes To Make! 

For this recipe, you will only need angel hair pasta, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, onions, white wine, olive oil, chicken broth, whipping cream, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.

If you want to replace some of these, you absolutely can! Try using spaghetti, penne pasta, garlic powder, chives, apple juice, butter, vegetable broth, half and half, Italian mix cheese, and herbs. For a dairy-free recipe, use coconut milk and vegan cheese, or skip the cheese altogether.

To speed things up, start by boiling your pasta, making sure to get it al dente. In the meantime, you can stir-fry all the vegetables, adding the broth and wine as you cook them.

This process may take a few minutes, because the idea is for the liquid to evaporate. Once you have half the liquid remaining, add the seasoning. You can add more herbs and spices if you would like.

When you need a more filling meal, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon. You could also replace the cheese and cream with some Asian sauces, like soy and teriyaki, and turn the meal into a stir-fry.

Enjoy this dish fresh, served with more Parmesan on top. You can also make the sauce ahead of time, save it in the fridge, and warm it up on the stove for a quick meal when you are busy. You can also avoid using pasta if that is not your thing, and serve this meal with either roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes as well.

Surprise your family and friends with a delicate meal that takes none of your energy!
