Notes about this recipe

  • treay on April 06, 2026

    I have cooked pasta with mushrooms and prawns many times, and we always loved it, but this recipe is much better than the one I used to make. It uses the heads and skins of the prawns plus some veggies and wine, to make a sauce that it's amazingly tasty. It took longer than expected to prepare it, but it was worth it! I used fusilli instead of penne, I didn't have any at home..... and half-cooked the prawns separately because I thought they might get overcooked if I followed the recipe. Also, I used a mixture of mushrooms. It was so good! Will make it again for sure.....
