Ingredients
Scale
- Pasta (fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or whole yogurt
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about a cup of pasta cooking water before draining.

- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs or parmesan if desired.
