Pasta with stew and mushrooms.
A classic dish of Italian cuisine with mountain flavors.
Some make it plain, some with tomato, some with peas or mushrooms.

By using the muscle cut, this dish is considered dietetic and complete.
For many, the muscle part might not seem the most suitable, but it is the only way I can make my husband eat stew using this cut of meat because he doesn’t like fat.
I will show you both the traditional cooking recipe and then the Bimby one.
