Ingredients

1/2 pound uncooked multigrain angel hair pasta
4 large portobello mushrooms (3/4 pound), stems removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup pitted Greek olives
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, cut mushrooms in half and thinly slice. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms; saute until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes and olives. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs, salt and pepper.
Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with mushroom mixture, adjusting consistency with reserved pasta water. Sprinkle with cheeses.

Test Kitchen Tips

This isn't a saucy pasta, so leftovers make for a great cold salad the next day.

Instead of reaching for the salt shaker, try zesting a little lemon over the pasta and squeezing a bit of juice over each serving. It brightens up the flavor and helps keep it healthy.

Other cheeses are great on this dish if you're not a feta fan. Try a little crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese, or even skip the cheese altogether.

Put this easy pasta toss on your Meatless Monday menu!
