I’m a big noodle lover, and any pasta dish makes me happy.
But pasta with lots of veggie like this one makes me SUPER happy!
I’m also a big mushroom fan, and I had to have them when I saw this beautiful king mushroom at the local Asian grocery store.
The size is amazing and it really deserves that name!
Arugula basil sauce.
I do not call it “pesto” only because there is no cheese in it.
