In a large skillet, cook the mushrooms in olive oil for 5 minutes, until they start to brown.

Step 3

Add the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and release their juices.

How to Store

Pasta is one of those dishes that stores perfectly and reheats wonderfully. All you need is a container with a lid to put the leftovers in and keep it stored in the fridge until you're ready to eat.
