Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions.
  2. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
  3. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until it's fragrant. Remove the mushrooms and garlic to a bowl and return the skillet to the heat.
