Penne would have worked well too...and I honestly thought we had several unopened boxes of penne and/or rigatoni. But nooooooooo.....and I started the cooking process (with company in the house) before I checked my pasta situation. What a dope. How many times have I said, read the recipe thouroughly AND be sure I have all ingredients on hand.
No biggie....We had angel hair pasta and that did the trick.
I used these fat Portobellas and white button mushrooms.
The sauce came out creamy but after eating it for a bit....it started to gel as an alfredo consistancy. Very good though.
I don't have a photo of the dished up plate as my camera died after I started cooking. Fortunately it had charged by the end of the meal so I could get that shot of the creamy sauce.
A keeper? Oh yes! From Giada At Home – recipe HERE
Check out the pasta dishes at IHCC!
Looks delicious! I'm a sucker for cream sauces.
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms in everything, much to my daughter's horror. :)
ReplyDeleteMmm, so comforting and satisfying! Is there anything better than a creamy mushroom sauce on a rainy day? I am making this tonight. Let's hope all this rain washes away the snow!
ReplyDeleteShe does come up with great recipes and anything with mushrooms really appeals to us. Perfect comfort meal.

From the ingredients I can understand that it was a big hit and I would love to try it!
ReplyDeletePerfect sauce, looks yummy!
ReplyDeletealways like a good alfredo and mushroom sauce too - gonna have to check it out ... this is what I am sending to everyone - ....forgive me, but Mardi Gras has started and there are even fewer hours in each day... that does not mean I do not wish I could spend my time enjoying your posts, but that I am probably working to make festive times happen for others... don't forget me even if I am silent... good cooking and to those in the know, Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!
ReplyDeleteMM - Me too :-)
ReplyDeleteJanel - Maybe your daughter will grow to love them. My son didn't like them when he was younger but does now. We don't get a great variety of mushrooms here but I love the portobellas. Mmmmm
Natashya - Is the rain better than the snow? Maybe it will wash the snow away, hope so. Hope you like the sauce when you make it!
Rita - Giada is fast becoming one of my favorites.
Katerina - It was really rich and yes, a hit all the way around. Thank you :-)
Country Cook - Thank you!
Drick - Ya know, I wasn't even aware it was Mardi Gras...my mind has sure been elsewhere lately. I won't forget you!
Creamy mushroom sauce works for me! This looks delicious--great pick.
ReplyDelete;-)
I want some of that creamy, earthy goodness for lunch today! Too bad I don't have any mushrooms and I'm much to lazy to go to market. Ah well...I'll just live vicariously through yours ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb!
ReplyDeleteGirlichef - I'd be so happy to prepare a dish for you :-)
I think this creamy mushroom sauce would be good on any type or pasta, rice, potatoes, etc. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim and what a good idea...over potatoes. Brilliant!
