Mushroom Alfredo Pasta

Rigatoni pasta in a creamy mushroom alfredo sauce, this is a great dish for whenever you want something warm and comforting.

In our recipe we’ve used Agnesi Rigatoni which we got from one of our partners MHA. We thought the pasta held the chunky mushroom sauce really well and also gave it a really nice bite.

Agnesi is a reputed pasta brand from Italy, and according to the brand’s website, they are the oldest Italian pasta factory.

Serves: 2-3
