1 cup mixed wild mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.

- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the flavorful mushroom and balsamic mixture. If needed, use the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce.
- Toss in halved cherry tomatoes, letting them warm through. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the pasta and mix until the cheese is melted and forms a creamy coating.
- Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in freshly chopped basil for a burst of freshness.
