Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

- While the pasta is cooking, slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the onion.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, consider caramelizing the onions by cooking them slowly over low heat until they are golden brown.
- Use fresh garlic and onions to enhance the overall taste and aroma of the dish.
- You can substitute the butter with olive oil for a lighter version while still retaining rich flavors.
- For added protein, consider tossing in some grilled chicken or tofu.
- Reserve a cup of pasta cooking water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
- Add freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
- Don’t overcook the pasta; aim for 'al dente' to maintain a nice bite.
In conclusion, this garlic mushroom whole-wheat pasta with butter and onion is a simple yet full-flavored dish that's nutritious and fulfilling. Whether you're cooking for yourself or for loved ones, this recipe is sure to impress with its rich, comforting flavors and satisfying textures.
