Pasta lumberjack style
My small variation of the popular dish from Italy will bring the wonderful scent of the forest directly into your kitchen. For this we add fresh mushrooms to the pasta. To get a nice creamy sauce, we add an extra dollop of cream to the tomato sauce. Add some smoked bacon, fresh parsley and a few spices and we can enjoy this fantastic pasta.
