2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic, fresh broccoli florets, and sliced portabella mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté these ingredients vigorously for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to wilt and the broccoli turns a vibrant green.

3. Once the vegetables have softened slightly, reduce the heat to low and carefully pour in the dry white wine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2 minutes. Then, stir in the no-salt-added diced tomatoes along with the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and a splash of water if needed to maintain a saucy consistency. Continue simmering the sauce for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.

4. At this point, your pasta should be ready. Drain the cooked linguine, making sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high and toss the linguine with the sauce, allowing it to boil for about 1 minute. This step is crucial as it helps the flavors meld together and ensures the pasta is well-coated.

5. Once the pasta and sauce are thoroughly mixed, remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the fresh basil leaves. This will add a fragrant note to your dish.

6. To serve, divide the linguine among four plates, generously topping each portion with the savory mushroom and broccoli sauce. For an added touch, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm pasta.

7. Enjoy your Linguine With Portabella Mushrooms and Broccoli immediately, savoring each bite of this nutritious and flavorful meal that is as pleasing to the palate as it is to the eye.
