Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta just to al dente, according to package directions, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, warm olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they turn dark brown in spots.

Step 3

Stir the minced garlic into the browned mushrooms and cook for 30-60 seconds, just until fragrant. Quickly stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, followed by about 1 cup of the sauce. Reduce heat to low and let this simmer until the pasta is done.

Step 4

After draining the pasta, add it to the skillet and stir well to combine. Add more sauce until the pasta is evenly coated but not drowning. Sample and add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Top portions with fresh slivered basil and Parmesan, as desired. Enjoy!
