Oven-Baked Portobello and Chestnut Mushrooms with a Goat’s Cheese Sauce

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 🙂
