  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.

  3. Add the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms to the skillet; cook until they begin to brown, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper; cook for another minute.
  5. Reduce the heat and mix in the crème fraîche (or mascarpone) and vegetable broth; stir until fully combined.
