Mushroom Marsala with Linguini Pasta
An earthy meatless weeknight classic that can be prepped and prepared in under an hour. While recipe calls for button or cremini mushrooms, a mix of mushrooms really enhances flavor. If sauce is not thick enough to liking, whisk in up to ½ tablespoon more all-purpose flour. Conversely, if sauce is too thick, stir in a bit more broth to thin it out. Tossing hot pasta with a drizzle or two of olive oil will help sauce coat pasta.
