Ingredients:
- 250g pasta of your choice (e.g. penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
- 300g fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped

Instructions:
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the mushroom ragù: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they begin to brown and release their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

- Taste the mushroom ragù and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the pasta: Divide the cooked pasta among serving plates. Spoon the mushroom ragù over the pasta.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves (if desired).
