Well well well, what do you know! I managed to make a dinner in my 3/4 complete kitchen and I must admit, it feels amazing to not have to pick up the phone to have dinner on the table tonight. Yesterday I mentioned a simple mushroom sauce I was making for dinner – and simple was completely understated. This recipe is so quick and fool proof, you must add it to your rotation this winter!
This is truly an amazing weeknight dinner when you’re in a pinch! I can hardly call this a recipe – it’s a no brainer!

The boys gobbled it up. Owen loves mushrooms so he was a happy camper! Brody not so much. But, removing the mushrooms and topping the pasta with parmesan cheese and he was all in!
