Rotini with Mushroom Sauce





Vegetables


Earthy If you like mushrooms as much as I do then you’ll love this Rotini with Mushroom Sauce recipe. The combination of mushrooms blended with a little garlic and wine will adds a great earthy flavor to this dish.

The different varieties of mushrooms that you use are up to you. My favorites for this dish are a mixture of baby portabella, white button, porcini and cremini mushrooms.

For this particular sauce I’ll use some broth, cream and Parmesan to make it richer and tastier.
