Why You'll Love This Recipe

What is Marsala?

Marsala is a fortified wine from Sicily, known for its nutty, caramelized flavor. It's commonly used in Italian cooking to deglaze pans and build rich sauces. If you don't have it on hand, a mix of beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of sugar does the trick!

Tips for the Best Mushroom Marsala Pasta

  • Choose a good mix of mushrooms – Think cremini, portobello, shiitake.
  • Don’t rush the mushroom browning – It deepens the umami flavor.
  • Nappé sauce? – It means the sauce should coat the back of a spoon.

Whether you're treating yourself to a quiet night in or impressing someone with your cooking skills, this Mushroom Marsala Cream Pasta is a keeper. Pair it with a crisp green salad and a glass of white wine for a complete meal.
