Campanelle Pasta with Mushrooms and Mexican Flavors
A simple recipe for Campanelle Pasta with mushrooms, arugula, serrano peppers, and garlic. Garnished with crumbled queso fresco and red pepper. This meal is easy to make and ready in less than 20 minutes. My family loves pasta and this dish is one of my to-go recipes to make using ingredients I have in my fridge and in the pantry.
I choose Barilla Campanelle Pasta because it cooks to perfection and never fails. Besides, it is tasty and you can find it in any supermarket and on Amazon. You can actually purchase it here if you decide to make this yummy pasta at home.
This campanelle pasta is ready in no time
Mushrooms are always in season, are so versatile and pretty easy to cook. I live in Florida and the locally sourced mushrooms are really nice and not that expensive. I like to sauté the mushrooms in a skillet with olive oil, garlic and add chopped serrano peppers for an extra kick. We Mexicans love our pasta a bit spicy with a nice contrast with the mushrooms and the queso fresco.
Wheat 2 Bread Tour
This week I am traveling to meet with farmers that grow wheat and learn all about it. Me, being such a fan of bread and pasta I am looking forward to learning all about the process of planting and harvesting wheat that ends up in our table in so many forms. Including wheat beer. Yes, because wheat is not only for bread!
