i dunno if this is italian but i was just trying to imitate a dish i love in one of the cafes here in davao. this recipe of mine is more generous with mushrooms and pine nuts though. =D


Ingredients:
spaghetti cooked al dente
straw mushrooms, roughly chopped
home made or bottled pesto
olive oil
minced garlic and onion
dry roasted pine nuts
all purpose cream - 1 tetra pack
salt and pepper
grated parmesan and fontina cheese
water for thinning out sauce

note: you can play with the measurements, put in any of the ingredients as much or as little as you like


Directions:
saute garlic and onions in olive oil. add chopped mushrooms.
add all purpose cream when mushrooms are wilted, salt and pepper to taste.
add pesto and half of the pine nuts
add grated cheese
add water if you find the sauce too thick
add cooked spaghetti.
mix well.
top with remaining pine nuts, sprinkle with cheese.
