How to Make Low Fat Angel Hair Pasta With Onion Mushroom Sauce

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 4 oz dried shiitake mushrooms and 2 large crepes, cut into strips.
  2. Remove from heat and let the mixture stand for 20 minutes to allow the mushrooms and crepes to soften.
  3. Drain the shiitake mushrooms and crepes, reserving the liquid. Set aside.
  4. In a 3-quart saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of margarine over medium heat.
  5. Add 1 cup sliced button mushrooms, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Add the drained shiitake mushrooms to the onion mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup of the reserved mushroom and crepe liquid, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and the zest of 1/2 lemon.
  8. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  9. Meanwhile, cook 8 ounces of angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain.
  10. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the hot pasta and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
