Ingredients
- 12 ounces whole wheat penne pasta (or any pasta of your choice)
- 2 cups frozen green peas
- 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they start to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the frozen green peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
- Pour in the oat cream and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy mushroom and pea sauce.
