Tonight I felt like eating something with pasta that had a lot of flavour. Since I love goat’s cheese and mushrooms I decided to make a goat’s cheese sauce and bake some mushrooms in the oven. I made my own pasta since I love fresh pasta, but you could use whatever pasta you want.
I would recommend that you use a wider pasta than spaghetti so that you get the pasta to pick up a lot of the sauce. Pappardelle or tagliatelle, which I made, is good for this dish. The sauce gets a lot of flavour from the goat’s cheese and the mushrooms were crispy and buttery. A perfect pasta dish, easy to make and delicious 🙂
Ingredients Serves 2
Cooking time: 40 mins

- Either use a mixer or food processor to blend the mix until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

You should! It is so easy to make pasta. I made this pasta in less than 20 mins 🙂 The dough doesn’t need to rest if you use it straight away. Good luck if you do buy a pasta machine. Just ask for more tips if you want. /Sofi
