Pâte Avec Champignons et Basilic

Figured the French would get everyone LOL.  I was gonna make the title Italian, however, mushroom in Italian is “funghi” and that’s not too appetizing if you don’t speak Italian!!!!Anyway, I had some mushrooms I wanted to use before they went bad and/or I forgot about them.  I also have a literal TON of basil I’m growing…from plants and seed so I have a constant supply…plus a huge hunk of Asiago I bought in Sam’s Club a while ago.

The result was this.  You will never miss meat, I promise you.  And it can be made totally vegan if you leave out the butter and the cheese (the cheese is optional anyway, I just like cheese!).  I put a small amount of butter in for flavor, but using all olive oil–a good EVOO–you won’t lack for taste either, so the butter won’t be missed.
