This pasta was inspired by Gusto 101 (Mafalde AI Funghi)..irresistible! Gusto 101 is one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto. Their food is comfort food.so you can see why I wanted to try the pasta. Not the same but close enough! It is such a simple meal yet absolutely delicious. I’ve made it for the kids twice in one week..there's something to be said about that! It’s that easy to make. Now I know you’ve all heard me say this before but either I’m getting better at cooking or it really is easy peezy. My love of pasta and mushrooms enhanced my desire to try this recipe and I’m so glad I did! This is a must for your family dinner…it took me 30 minutes to make this and cooking the pasta probably took the longest! I used Garofalo Mafalda pasta but realistically you can use any pasta. I looked in stores for the mafalda pasta but found it on amazon...link below.
It really is very simple pasta to make but aroma and flavors melt in your mouth.
