Pam's Quick Garlic Crimini Mushrooms

Ingredients

15-20 crimini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder (optional)
red pepper flakes (optional)


Instructions

spray a pan with a light coat of nonstick oil and set to med-high heat. toss in the mushrooms, garlic and spices to taste. stir in a scant 3/4teaspoon of olive oil and lower heat to med-low after things get sizzling. cook for ~15 minutes.

this is a super easy side dish; you can turn the burner to extra low and cover while cooking other dishes. also works with white button mushrooms, though the criminis have much more flavor.

for garlic lovers: toss in a couple of whole garlic cloves.
