Mushroom Pasta

Mushroom Pasta is a flavourful, yummy pasta made by cooking pasta, sautéing with mushrooms & spices. Mushroom Pasta is a great choice of menu for parties as it is easy to cook in large batches. How to cook Mushroom pasta is described in this post with step by step pictures.

I wanted to try a pasta recipe with mushrooms for a long time…say ever since I started cooking pasta at home. Finally gave a try few weeks back and should say mushroom with pasta is such a delicious combination, sure a match made in heaven! I referred this recipe from Good Food magazine and was titled ‘pasta in mushroom garlic sauce’.

This is not a perfect white sauce recipe, its just my attempt to create a low fat version of white sauce….I loved the mild sauce coating on the pasta with the crunch from mushroom and capsicum….it was light on my tummy……happy me 🙂 This pasta won hands down as it was liked by all, okay I admit lil one excluded 🙂 as she doesn’t like pasta, am happy about it and don’t force her for that but have to find ways to include mushroom in other forms that she would love to eat….Now lets get onto the recipe.
