The name "pasta" is associated with Italian cuisine. Its difference from conventional pasta is that in the Italian version it is a mixture based on durum wheat flour and semolina, which does not boil during cooking. Read about how to make pasta with fresh mushrooms, chicken, cheese and other ingredients.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
Italian pasta is made from all types of flour, including wheat, rice, sweet potato, buckwheat. Such pasta is on the list of Mediterranean healthy foods. And they are recommended as a product that allows you to normalize weight and reduces the risk of developing obesity in general.
Creamy pasta can be known by many names. But all you need for a classic recipe is cream, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and salt. In other variations of this dish, you can find other ingredients that just slightly change the classic sauce.
Chanterelles take fresh dishes. Before cooking, they should be washed. So that they do not nourish moisture, wash under running water. Then cut into pieces of the same size. To add to the dish they can be made as small as possible.
Did you know? Chanterelles are mushrooms with bitterness, which intensifies if you collected them during a drought. Therefore, some housewives recommend boiling them before further use.
To get a tasty dish, you need to consider a few simple rules:
- Always salt the water in which you cook the pasta. Do not put vegetable oil, only salt.
- Use durum wheat pasta.
- Leave some water in which the spaghetti was cooked to add to the sauce a little later. Pasta easily absorbs water. Therefore, adding all the liquid at once, you will get a somewhat overdried product.
