Any veggie or meat in the refrigerator would work and any herbs in the pantry would go well with pasta. If I don&#8217;t have any of these, then a simple tomato sauce topped with grated parmesan cheese, it couldn&#8217;t get any better than this. On lazy days a bowl of warm home made pasta is good enough to satisfy my stomach and to make my taste buds dance. I always have pasta in fact all kinds including the gluten free ones stored in my pantry as I know it will come in handy any time. I often throw them in salads, soups, stews and I even went a little over board and made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/saffron-pasta-pudding-gluten-free-dessert\/\" target=\"_blank\">pasta pudding<\/a>. Do I need more reasons to stack up pasta?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The other day when I was planning to make pasta, I felt like trying something different and that day I even had brown mushrooms. So, I decided to skip the meat and combine the pasta with veggies like mushrooms and yellow peppers. I adopted this recipe from All recipes.com. I loved the addition of sour cream to the sauce which gave this dish a creamy texture and it tasted better than the restaurant style pasta dishes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creamy Mushroom Pasta<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7799\" title=\"creamy mushroom pasta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/creamy-mushroom-pasta1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/creamy-mushroom-pasta1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/creamy-mushroom-pasta1-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pasta, fusilli or any type- 1\/2 packet or according to your needs<\/li>\n<li>Mushroom, brown large, cut into stripes- 3<\/li>\n<li>Yellow peppers, cut into stripes (optional)- 2<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Butter- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Garlic, minced- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Italian seasoning- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Chicken stock- 1 cup (or use 1\/2\u00a0bouillon\u00a0cube mixed with 1 cup water)<\/li>\n<li>Sour cream- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li>Cornstarch- 1 tbsp combined with little cold water<\/li>\n<li>Parmesan cheese, grated- 1\/4 cup or according to your needs<\/li>\n<li>Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Brown Mushrooms:<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7808 size-full\" title=\"Brown Mushroom\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/brown-mushroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/brown-mushroom.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/brown-mushroom-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cook the pasta in boiling water along with little salt till it turns tender, drain water and keep aside.
