Pasta with mushrooms, speck, and cream is a fall main dish 🙂
In these days of bad weather, I crave more flavorful dishes than usual, and since it’s mushroom season, I bought some to use as a pasta topping.
In addition to the mushrooms, I added some chopped slices of speck and some cream.
Usually, I use little cream, but since I had bought some to make a dessert, I wanted to use the remaining in this main dish.
Pasta with mushrooms, speck, and cream is a creamy main dish that I really liked because it filled me up without being too heavy 😉
It’s ideal to serve even if you have guests for lunch or dinner 😀
For pasta, I used mezze maniche because I think it’s a type of pasta suitable for this kind of sauce, but you can also use penne, tortiglioni, or spaghetti.
Instead of porcini mushrooms, you can use champignon mushrooms.
P.S.: With mushrooms, I also recommend trying:
