Mushroom fettuccine
[the_ad id=”615″]
Mushroom fettuccine are amonst the simplest pasta dish you can make at home.
Fettuccine, plural of fettuccina and literally translated as little ribbons, is a type of pasta particularly known in Lazio, in Roman cuisine, and Tuscany. It is a thick and flat pasta with egg and flour.
It is also very similar to tagliatelle, which is typical of Bologna, in Emilia Romagna. Italian regions all have their own culinary traditions so even small differences in the style of pasta and their names might exist.
Ingredients
- Fettuccine – if not available, you can use tagliatelle
- Mushrooms
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic
- Butter
- Salt
- Black pepper
- White wine
- Fresh parsley
Pasta and mushrooms to use
Like said, this pasta dish is made with fettuccine but you can just as easily use tagliatelle. Either of the two is just fine. Both of them can be made home if you have a pasta machine, or you can buy them easily from the supermarket (they are usually sold fresh in the refrigerator aisles or dried in the pasta department).
For this recipe, we used local champignon mushrooms, as they are common to find and generally affordable, compared to other types of mushrooms. If you wish, you can use portobello, or even porcini, mushrooms or any similar types of mushrooms. Using just the champignon mushrooms, our mushroom fettuccine turned out extremely delicious, so we can recommend them!
The rest of the ingredients are pretty easy and simple. You will just need oil, butter, parsley, white wine, garlic, salt, and pepper. In order to make your dish fully vegan, you can just replace the butter with some more oil and use a vegan white wine. White wine is not strictly necessary but we found that it does bring an extra bit of flavor to the dish.
Long pasta alternative to mushroom fettuccine
If you are uncertain whether to make your mushroom fettuccine or perhaps you decide to postpone making this recipe to a later day, here you find some suggestions on dishes where we used long pasta:
- Amatriciana-style vegetarian pasta: we all know how amazing amatriciana pasta is. What if we told you that this version is suitable for vegetarians because we made our own vegan bacon by using tofu? And what if you replace the pecorino cheese with a vegan option to have a full vegan amatriciana pasta?
- Spaghetti alla puttanesca: this recipe comes from Naples and the Lazio region in Italy. You will find some differences between the two versions so that you can make a pescatarian version with anchovy fillets. If removed, your dish will be fully vegan.
