Hello cooking friends – I hope you’ve been enjoying our healthy recipes these past weeks and months that we’ve been confined at home. Chef Carmelo send his best wishes to you all and hopes you are eating well. Here is another simple and delicious recipe for Fettucini with Mushroom Sauce.
Of course, you can use Tagliatelle or any other pasta but this dish lends itself to the thicker pasta strands to absorb the delicate flavour of the mushrooms.
