Mushroom Alfredo Tagliatelle
Mushroom Alfredo Tagliatelle
This dish tastes super decadent but is still really easy to make and pretty healthy! The creamy Alfredo is made from Cashews and a few other ingredients and the Mushrooms are sautéed with Onions, Herbs and a bit of Sherry.
Serves 2- 4
Ingredients
6.5 oz Tagliatelle Pasta ( Any wide noodle such as Fettucine would work)

1 1/2 Tbsp of Dry Sherry (optional but adds so much flavor)
1 Tbsp of fresh Thyme
1 Tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley plus more for garnishing
Salt & Pepper to taste
