- Once the water boils, add a tblsp of rock salt and mix until it dissolved.
- Add 8.8oz/200g pasta (or as much as you desire) to the pot of boiling water and cook according to packet instructions.
- Cut mushrooms into chunky cubes or thin slices based on your preference and finely chop the parsley.
- Put the large frypan on the stove at a low-medium heat. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, spreading it across the base of the pan.
- Add mushrooms to your pan and cook for ten minutes stirring while they soften then add the parsley and mix using a wooden spoon.
- While the pasta is boiling scoop up some of the water in the pot using a mug and leave to the side.
- Next, strain the pasta using a hand held sieve or a large colander and add it to the large pan right away.
- Mix the mushroom alfredo pasta through the mushroom mix before adding the butter and combining it once it starts to melt.
- Add the pasta water from the mug and gently mix it through and the sauce should start to thicken.
- Sprinkle in a handful of Parmigiano Regianno and mix through until the pasta is completely covered and this melts though – this will make the sauce even creamier!
- E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!

Excellent! Made this on 6/13, substituted shiitake mushrooms in place of the porcini. I really enjoyed the clean taste of this dish. Great recipe, would absolutely make again.
They are a great substitute for porcini mushrooms and add a nice depth of flavor to the dish. I’m glad that you appreciated the clean taste of the pasta, and that you would make it again.
