Torchio with Creamy Mushroom
Earthy, creamy, and packed with umami richness, Torchio with Creamy Mushroom is a deliciously simple dish that delivers comfort in every bite. Otway Pasta Company’s dried torchio is perfect for catching the velvety mushroom sauce, with its gently spiced base of garlic and thyme.
Sautéed button mushrooms create a savoury depth, balanced with just enough cream and parmesan to coat the pasta without overpowering. A final sprinkle of fresh parsley lifts the whole dish with a touch of brightness. It’s a quick, satisfying vegetarian meal that’s perfect for midweek dinners but elegant enough to serve to guests.
