  Total Time: 30 minutes
  Ease of Preparation: Easy

Ingredients
 12 ounces whole-wheat fettuccine
 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 4 cups sliced mixed mushrooms 
 4 cups thinly sliced Brussels sprouts
 1 tablespoon minced garlic
 1/2 cup dry sherry 
 2 cups low-fat milk
 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
 1 cup finely shredded Asiago cheese, plus more for garnish

Preparation

1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and set aside.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sherry, scraping up any brown bits; bring to a boil and cook, until almost evaporated, about 1 minute.
 
3. Mix milk and flour in a bowl; add to the skillet with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in Asiago until melted. Add the sauce to the pasta; gently toss. Serve with more cheese, if desired.
