Tasty and fragrant with undergrowth, the pasta con i funghi makes everyone agree. Mushrooms, whether they are porcini, chanterelles or oyster mushrooms, are a perfect ingredient for main dishes like risottos or tagliatelle. By varying the textures and types of pasta, we obtain dishes that are as elegant as they are tasty.

How to clean mushrooms correctly?

Avoid running them under water! They would absorb moisture and lose their taste. Use a brush or slightly damp cloth to remove the soil, then dry them immediately with paper towels. For button mushrooms, simply remove the thin outer skin before rinsing them quickly in a mixture of water and lemon.

Little conservation tips
