Mushroom broccoli pasta is a comfort food, nothing like that. A fulfilling meal itself, very delicious, very easy and quick to make. The ingredients are easily available in your kitchen, pantry and fridge.
Today I am making pasta using plain milk, not cream so that it would be light though fulfilling. Hope you would like it.
I am using mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, garlic for this dish. Instead of cutting into chunks, I am cutting bell peppers into stripes this time to give a different look.
All these veggies especially mushrooms have protein, vitamins, minerals, nutrients, antioxidants. Mushrooms have lots of protein and medicinal values. Look how healthy they are. Some of them are Turkey tail, White button, Cremini, Shiitake, Maitake, Cordyceps, Lion’s mane, Reishi, Portobello, Chaga.
Ok, let’s start….
