Mushroom lovers unite! This is a rich pasta brimming with mushroom flavor. Add a little garlic bread, and in under an hour, you have a meal fit for a king.
You can use various types of mushrooms in this dish. A lot depends on how much mushroom taste you want to bring forward. For example, Bella mushrooms are stronger than white button mushrooms. Portabella mushrooms have a meatier texture.
As with so many other pasta dishes you don’t have to stop with the recipe basics. If you want a little chicken in the pasta, broccoli, or a hint of basil, go for it! Use a pot that’s at least 3-quarts in size (like a dutch oven). The key to success for this dish is to stir, stir, stir. You don’t want the pasta sticking or undercooked.
