After an influx of tomato based sauces, such as the arriabata, the pomodoro and bolognaise sauce, I thought it was about time I to place the tomatoes on the side. If there is any sauce that can and does rival the tomato sauce’s popularity for pasta, it is the mushroom sauce. Alfredo sauce alone is purely based on cream and nothing else. When speaking about Mushroom Alfredo Sauce, we are in fact speaking about cream and mushroom based sauce. By the way, because the essence of this sauce is still cream, it may be best not to overpower the amount of mushrooms you use, but instead gently combine them.
