Crimini Mushrooms

Decided to make my famous Summer Pasta tonight. Its a light healthy dinner that can be whipped up in about 20 minutes or less. While I was contemplating on what mushrooms to use, I came across Organic Crimini Mushrooms. I'v heard about these mushrooms so I thought I would give them a try. I usually use just white mushrooms which are ok but not the best. White mushrooms to me seem to produce to much water when sauteing and I wanted to see how these would turn out.

After sauteing them with some olive oil, a bit of chopped garlic, salt and pepper they turned out to be the best tasting mushroom in my opinion for pasta or salad. They taste really great.

So here is a bit of info about them. Crimini mushrooms, which are darker than the more common button mushrooms, are especially packed with nutrients. Some research has even suggested that eating niacin-rich foods like crimini mushrooms can help prevent Alzheimer's Disease. Some of the most popular ways to cook crimini mushrooms is to saute, grill or roast them.

 Mushrooms are a delicious way to add vitamins and anti-oxidants to your diet.
