Ribbon Pasta Dinner with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

For this recipe delicious Ribbon Pasta Dinner, that comes with a creamy mushroom sauce ,we are using the wide ribbon pasta because they soak up the gravy or sauce the best. If you cannot find mixed mushrooms you can also use dried morels or chanterelles. Another variation is to use fresh mushrooms instead of dried ones. It is very convenient to keep frozen parsley in the freezer which you can also use for this dish. It is perfect for a lunch or early dinner, and rather not for a late dinner as mushrooms are being digested too slowly. Happy Cooking!
