How much Alfredo sauce is needed for this pasta?
This pasta is creamy and luscious but not overwhelming with the richness of cream and cheese. So try to add a little sauce at first. Start with ¾ cup of sauce and taste. If needed more, surely go for it. The key is not to overpower the creamy sauce.
Can I prepare the Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the entire pasta dish ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Also, add some water or milk and heat through.
When you need to eat it, just reheat it in a skillet on the stove over low heat. To adjust consistency, add some water or milk to it. Also, you can add seasoning.
How to clean mushrooms?
To clean mushroom, use a damp cloth/paper towel or a soft mushroom brush. Wipe each mushroom, clean the black spots and to remove any dirt. Clean one mushroom at a time.
After cleaning the mushrooms, lightly rinse them for a few seconds with cold water. You can either rinse them under running water or in a bowl. Discard the water and pat them dry with a clean paper towel. Mushrooms are ready for use.
Never soak the mushrooms in water, because they absorb the water and mushrooms won’t turn nicely brown when cooked if they are so full of water.
How to serve Fettuccine with Mushroom Alfredo Sauce?
You can serve this pasta straight out of the pan along with some fresh green salad such as Greek Style Chickpea Salad Recipe, Apple Cucumber Mozzarella Pearls Salad or Avocado Tomato Cucumber Salad with Kiwi Dressing.
Tips and variations to make the best Fettuccine with Mushroom Alfredo Sauce:
-
If you want to adjust the consistency of pasta, then add some reserved pasta water to it. This would help in getting the right type of pasta consistency.
