MUSHROOM MEDLEY A GREAT SIDE DISH!
This recipe is perfect to serve as a side dish with Turkey or chicken. The recipe came from "The Chopping Block" by Philomena Corradeno - I have tweaked it a bit. You may make ahead and reheat just before serving. I like a fairly thick sauce but if you like it thinner add a bit more water.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and reduce cooking time.
- Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms will give your pasta a more flavorful and earthy taste. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to rehydrate them before using.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Sautéing the mushrooms in butter or olive oil will help them develop a rich, caramelized flavor. Be sure to cook the mushrooms until they are tender but still slightly firm.
- Use a Variety of Mushrooms: Using a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, will give your pasta a more complex flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and garlic, will add a burst of flavor to your pasta. Add them at the end of cooking so that they don't lose their flavor.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: A good quality cheese, such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, will add a rich and nutty flavor to your pasta. Use a microplane grater to grate the cheese so that it melts evenly.
