Healthy Mushroom Ragu

I’ve been on a healthy pasta cooking craze lately - who knew there were so many different combinations of carbs and sauces — and that you can easily modify them to be a weekday meal. My latest fave is a mushroom ragu, at only 300 calories - using porcini stock and other spices made it so delicious!

  • Soak dried porcini mushrooms in water for at least 15 min to get a flavorful porcini stock.
  • In a skillet, use ¼ tablespoon of butter and saute garlic, and chopped red onions. Add in porcini mushrooms plus any other mushrooms you may be using. I also added in some jalapeños for some extra kick.
