FAQ

Does this recipe require you to strain the pasta?

No, that is one of the things that we like the most about this recipe. It does not require boiling water and straining the pasta. Everything is self contained.

Can you make it ahead of time.

Yes. If you are going to let it cool before serving, it will dry out a little bit. Before reheating the creamy mushroom pasta, make sure to add a little milk to put some of the moisture back in.

Can you use any kind of pasta?

Yes but we like long thin noodles like spaghetti, fettuccini, or angel hair pasta. If you are using a thicker noodle like farfalle or ziti then add a few minutes to the cook time to compensate. Likewise, if you are using a thin pasta like angel hair, then you will want to shave a few minutes off of the cook time.

What kind of mushroom should I use?

Here we go!...Ben would tell you never to use canned mushrooms and to use one of the mushrooms listed on our cooking tips page. That is all well and good if you can get to the grocery store (or the specialty store). For simplicity's sake, this recipe uses canned mushrooms and tastes great!

Can this be made vegan?

Tes. All you have to do is use your favorite butter substitute instead of the butter and use a milk substitute for the milk. Leave out the parmesan and use nutritional yeast. This will make the recipe vegan, non-dairy, and pareve.
