Ingredients

  • 8 ounces baby bella or white button mushrooms
  • 1 large shallot
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 5 ounces petite peas (fresh or frozen) 5 oz usually = ~1 cup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 16 ounces fettuccine or linguine
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces goat cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and slice your mushrooms, dice your shallot, and mince your garlic.
    8 ounces baby bella or white button mushrooms, 1 large shallot, 3 cloves garlic
  • To a large, oven-safe 9 by 13-inch casserole dish, add the mushrooms, shallot, garlic, and peas.
    5 ounces petite peas (fresh or frozen)
  • Pour olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top of your veggies and use clean hands or two spoons to toss, ensuring the oil and seasonings are distributed throughout the dish.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pour the vegetable broth on top and place your pasta in the dish. All of the pasta should be submerged in the broth.
    4 cups vegetable broth, 16 ounces fettuccine or linguine
  • Add your goat cheese on top and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
    8 ounces goat cheese
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove from the oven, remove the foil and stir well, breaking down the baked goat cheese and making sure no noodles are stuck together.
  • Bake for another 15 minutes uncovered. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack or heat-safe surface. At this point, you will still see a lot of liquid. Allow the baked goat cheese pasta to cool for at least ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until goat cheese sauce thickens. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you're looking for a protein to serve with this dish, I highly recommend this 3-Ingredient Pesto Butter Salmon!
  • You can use any kind of onion in place of the shallot, but shallot is preferred for most flavor.
  • Reducing your meat consumption significantly reduces your carbon footprint. Be kind to the planet (as well as your tastebuds!) with more of these delicious meatless pasta meals.
