Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and trim the stem ends, removing all stems if using shiitakes.
  3. Slice the cleaned mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  4. Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid over low heat.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped fresh parsley to the skillet, cover, and cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid, about 15 minutes.
  6. Check the mushrooms occasionally to ensure they are steaming and not browning.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat sour cream and skim milk until smooth.
  8. Just before draining the pasta, reserve 1/4 cup of the hot pasta cooking water and stir it into the sour cream mixture.
  9. Drain the pasta and transfer it directly into the skillet with the mushrooms.
  10. Pour the sour cream mixture over the pasta and heat gently until the sauce begins to bubble.
  11. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  12. Toss everything together for one minute to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce and distribute the mushrooms.
  13. Divide the pasta between two plates, spooning extra sauce on top, and serve immediately.
