Method:
Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add ORGRAN buckwheat pasta spirals and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain under warm running water to stop further cooking and set aside. (Best to cook pasta & sauce simultaneously to avoid pasta going cold.)
Sauce
- Meanwhile melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and mushrooms in butter until tender.
- Reduce heat, and slowly stir in cream. Continue cooking until sauce has thickened, add prociutto and basil, and simmer for 10 more minutes.
- Place cooked pasta on warm dishes and top with the cream sauce.
