2

Sautee mushrooms over medium heat until their juices release and they start to caramelize (5-8 minutes).

tip!
Organic farms rely on biodiversity to generate rich soil, avoiding the use of pesticides and fertilizers, which means no toxic runoff. Consider organic mushrooms for this recipe!
4
step
Remove from heat and add the pasta back to the pot with the mushrooms. Add the pesto and toss.
5
step
Assess the consistency. If it seems too thick and dense, add the pasta water about 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Enjoy!
