Dinner for one: Mafaldine Pasta with Wild Mushrooms

Earlier this week I went to the Italian Market in Halifax as I normally do, for my weekly grocery needs.  I picked up a package of pasta that I have not yet tried called Mafaldine 81 by Divella.  It is a thick fettucine that has a decorative curly trim on either side of each noodle.  I was determined to find a good use to test out this pasta. 

Tonight I whipped up a pasta dish for myself using the Mafaldine 81 and lots of mushrooms.  I didn't follow a recipe I just took the ingedients I wanted out of the fridge and pantry, and that is when the magic began.

I really enjoyed this pasta dish, and can't wait to make it for my hubby and friends in the future.  This is one recipe that deserves an encore.

Ingredients

•  150 grams of pasta ( the pack was 500 grams)
• 1 cup of dried mushrooms of your choice (soak in hot water prior to use)
• 1 cup of fresh mushrooms ( I used oyster and gormet)
• 4 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup of chardonnay
• 1 tbsp blue brie cheese
• 1 tbsp grated romano cheese (use parmesan if you like it better)
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• Salt and pepper
• Garnish with fresh arugula greens or anything you really like.

Buon Appetito!
