Notes
How to clean mushrooms
This recipe is great when the mushrooms are not soggy. Here is a quick overview of how to clean mushrooms properly.The best way to properly clean closed button mushroom and make it dirt free is to wipe it clean with a damp kitchen towel. You could also wash them quickly under cold water and pat them dry or brush them clean with a mushroom brush, but I find wiping with a damp towel the best way and most efficient for crispy mushrooms. Tips
- Use white wine instead of chicken broth
- Add pasta water to thin out the pan sauce if need be
