Notes
- Note 1 This pasta is easy to find. It will be with the other pasta at the grocery store. It is in small bundles in the packet and will say either tagliatelle or egg pasta. (You can however, use fettucine, spaghetti or your favourite pasta also).
- Note 2 These mushrooms look exactly like button mushrooms but they are a light brown in colour. It is great to use 2 types of mushrooms in this recipe for flavour and texture!
- Note 3 These are the standard white mushrooms you commonly see at the grocery store or fruit shop.
- Note 4 I like my pasta to be aldente (a little firm still) as it has a great bite to it. Try this, by boiling till cooked, but still a little chewy.
