Pasta with Mushrooms
Spinach and Walnuts
Pasta with Mushrooms Spinach and Walnuts are a great tasting combination for a pasta dish. When mixed together with a four cheese sauce it becomes an unbelievable dish.
Using walnuts, pine nuts and almond are very common in Italian cooking. Let not forget how delicious a pesto sauce taste over your favorite pasta. The star in this recipe is the cheese sauce. The cheeses I’ve chosen are what I enjoy but you may use various combinations.
This Pasta with Mushrooms Spinach and Walnuts dish is excellent served with garlic bread topped with dried basil and parmesan. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS
