1 (12 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and onion, and cook 2 minutes. Mix in zucchini, and cook 10 minutes, until some of the moisture has evaporated. Stir in the mushrooms.
Pour the milk into the skillet, and stir in cream cheese until melted. Mix in basil. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve over the cooked pasta.
