Mushroom Marsala with Linguini Pasta

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.
