Mushroom Fettuccine

The other day I was sitting around the table with my family and I asked them to tell me what their favourite pasta dish was.

My youngest replied “mushrooms and pasta”, well that is not what I expected to hear, but good choice I must admit.

She then reminded us of the first time we had this dish which was when we went to visit my mother-in-law’s family in her home town of Frosinone which is about 50-60 km from our small town.

Simple Italian Fettuccine and Mushrooms Pasta Dish, a tasty dinner recipe,no cream needed, full of mushrooms & so Yummy!

We usually go for the day and visit with her remaining two brothers, and of course one of the high-lights is the food, what else when you live in Italy?!

This particular warm spring day we had a wonderful afternoon in a Provincial Park in the mountains. We brought all our food and picked our spot with a picnic table and bbq. Then Zia proceeded to cook and cook she did.

She made this wonderful, I-can’t-get-enough Mushroom Fettuccine Recipe. I think it must be the combination of mushrooms, the fresh Italian parsley and that little kick of hot pepper flakes that brings this fast and easy dish to the top of the list.

How to make Mushroom Pasta

In a large frying pan (big enough to hold the pasta too)  I added the olive oil, garlic and 2 types of chopped mushrooms and the fresh Italian Parsley, a little oregano, about 1/4 cup of water and of course a sprinkling of hot pepper flakes.

While the mushrooms were cooking I boil the Fettuccine al dente and then add it to the cooked mushrooms with a little pasta water. Cooking it on medium high heat while tossing it all together.

It’s amazing how it all comes together into a creamy (no cream added) Mushroom and Fettuccine Pasta Dish.

The Best Mushrooms for Pasta

  • Porcini Mushroom
  • Common Mushroom, also known as the Button Mushroom, White Mushrooms or Champignon and when they are mature they are called the Portobello Mushroom.
  • Chiodini Mushrooms or also known as Nail Mushrooms.
  • Chanterelle Mushrooms also known as Finferli Mushrooms.

When I make this Mushroom Pasta I like to use at least 2 or 3 of these types of mushrooms. Pick your favourite and mix them up.

How to Clean Mushrooms

To clean the mushrooms be sure to use a damp cloth or paper towel, then gently brush any dirt off the mushrooms.

Next trim up to 1/4 inch from the bottom of any stem that is discoloured, soggy or not completely fresh. 

If you must rinse the mushrooms, then be sure to do it quickly with cold  water and never warm or hot.

This is the perfect Italian Pasta Dish for a special get together or just because! Or why not serve it as a Meatless Monday dinner idea?

I am always amazed how such a quick and easy Pasta Dish can be so darn delicious. Especially when you fancy it up with some fresh Fettuccine.

Add a glass of white wine and what a dish it is! Buon Appetito!
