I adapted this recipe from the VegCooking section of Peta.com because my parsley is gone to seed and I was drinking white wine and didn’t have the recommended pasta… you know how it goes.
This is all somewhat imprecise, but a testament to the flexibility in cooking, life, and the universe at large.I ladled the sauce over soba noodles… but use the pasta of your choice. Over toast would work. I sprinkled tabasco and nutritional yeast on top at the end, but it really didn’t need it. I do that with everything.There’s even a photo that becomes more delicious looking when you click on it!

2 tablespoons Earth Balance buttery spread
12 ounces of mushrooms (I used a combo of white &
cremini; but your choice)
1 large clove of garlic, minced
