Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cavatappi pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Next, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked cavatappi to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
