Cook on medium heat stirring frequently. Keep at a low boil. After about 5 minutes add the chopped parsley, pinch of basil and cracked pepper and stir. Cook for another 5-10 minutes.

Slice avocado and tomato into small wedges.

Pour mushroom sauce over pasta and stir. Cook for about 1 minute over medium heat or until heated through.
