Ingredients:

1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 cup mushrooms
90g
4 garlic cloves
12g
16 oz whole-wheat pasta
450g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 onion
110g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the whole-wheat pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- While the pasta is cooking, slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the onion.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- 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.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine and Season:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
- Toss everything together until well combined.
- Season with the dash of black pepper and salt. Adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
5. Serving:
- Serve the Garlic Mushroom Whole-Wheat Pasta hot.
- You can optionally garnish with some chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

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.
