    What is tagliatelle ai funghi?

    Tagliatelle ai funghi is an Italian pasta dish that consists of tagliatelle noodles (a long, flat pasta similar to fettuccine) served with a creamy mushroom sauce. The sauce is made with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, onion, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese and wine.

    What does ai funghi mean?

    Ai funghi" is an Italian phrase that translates to "with mushrooms" in English. So, tagliatelle ai funghi means tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms. In Italian cuisine, mushrooms are a common ingredient used in pasta dishes, and they add a rich, earthy flavor to the sauce. It's so flavorful!

    What you'll need to make Taglietelle with Mushrooms - Ingredients & Substitutions

    This recipe uses simple ingredients that you can find in your local grocery store. Below I've listed substitutes where applicable.

    Labelled ingredients in small containers for the tagliatelle ai funghi recipe.
    • Tagliatelle pasta - we used dried pasta, or you can use fresh pasta. You can also substitute fettucine or linguini.
    • Dried shitake or porcini mushrooms - add texture and flavor but you can omit them altogether and still have a delicious mushroom pasta dish! Simply add in a few more of the fresh mushrooms.
    • Butter - a little butter adds a lot of flavor in the sauce and for cooking the onions and garlic.
    • Olive oil - use good quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor.
    • Garlic - fresh garlic adds so much flavor to this dish! I always have a fresh garlic clove on hand for cooking.
    • Cremini mushrooms - fresh mushrooms add an earthy flavor to the pasta and sauce. You can susitute with white button mushrooms as well or your favorite mushroom if you're a mushroom lover and pasta with mushrooms is such a delicious flavor.
    • White wine - I use Pinot Grigio or you can use any of these best wines for pasta sauces for a great choice.
    • Heavy cream - use whipping cream in Canada, (double cream UK, heavy cream U.S. A.)
    • Parmesan cheese - use fresh Parmesan cheese (best cheese for pasta right?!)for optimal flavor. You can also use pecorino Romano cheese.
    • Salt & black pepper

    Can I use something other than wine?

    Yes, you can! You can substitute the wine with chicken stock or vegetable stock in this mushroom pasta recipe! The flavor will be a bit different but still delicious! You can also reserve pasta water before you drain the pasta and use it as a great alternative to wine.

    Tip: The flavor of garlic in this recipe can be adjusted by the way you chop it - whether you chop it into larger pieces or finely chop it. Generally, the finer the garlic is chopped, the stronger its flavor will be.

    Mushrooms are added to the onion and garlic mixture with a wooden spoon.

    Storage, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

    Let's start with freezing. I do not recommend freezing leftovers because of the cream sauce.

    Storage - Place leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.

    Reheating - and reheat in a skillet over low heat. Add a splash of cream, wine or vegetable stock to the skillet to add a little moisture. Alternatively, you can reheat in the microwave by placing a single serving on a plate and reheating in 30 second interals until heated throughout. (less than two minutes)

    What else can I add to Tagliatelle with Mushrooms?

    Add some protein - chopped or slice chicken and diced bacon.

    Add some veggies - cooked chopped spinach and green peas make wonderful additions.

    Spice it up - add a few chili flakes to each serving.

    Swap out the white wine for red wine. Completely different flavor but delicious!

    Change the noodles - change the teglietelle noodles to papparadelle noodles and make pappardelle ai funghi, or fettucine noodles to make fettucine ai funghi.

    What to serve with mushroom pasta

    A side of cooked mushrooms, house salad, and Caesar salad would make delicious choices. Cheesy stuffed garlic bread is always a hit in our home.

      We loved this pasta dish! I added a little drizzle of truffle oil over mine, much to my husband's dismay, for a little extra funk, lol.
