PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS OLIVES FETA AND PESTO #vegetarian #salad

This pasta with mushrooms, olives, feta and pesto is a brisk and simple pasta formula that functions admirably either hot or cold. It's a gritty, exquisite pasta dish highlighting mushrooms sautéed to a brilliant earthy colored.

The pasta and mushrooms are hurled with a simple, lemony pesto sauce. At that point olives, salty feta and hurled pine nuts are added to the pasta and mushrooms to complete the dish. The pesto is a straightforward blend of italian parsley, lemon juice, garlic, parmesan cheddar and a little olive oil. Simply spin it up in your food processor and it's prepared. I utilized a little/smaller than usual food processor to make the pesto.

I love the natural, generous surface of mushrooms. I utilized infant button mushrooms however you could substitute any sort of mushroom you need in this dish. The significant advance is to sauté them with the goal that they become a flawless, caramelized, earthy colored shading. I'm a major garlic fan and have remembered a decent measure of garlic for this dish. The mushrooms are sautéed with garlic and there's garlic in the pesto too.
