This recipe is addictive! I've already warned you! We tried these tagliatelle with mushroom sauce and cheese at home last weekend and I have no doubt that we will repeat. The combination of flavors and the creaminess of the sauce make this pasta dish a winning dish.
I chose some tagliatelle because it was what I had at home but you can use whatever pasta you have on hand or whatever you like best because here the key is in the sauce. A sauce whose main ingredients are: leek, mushrooms, cheese and a little cream.
It is evident that it is not a recipe for every day given its list of ingredients, but it is ideal for ato weekend food. And making it takes less time than it may seem when looking at the list of ingredients. In fact, in half an hour it is more than ready.
