As a side note, most of you may laugh at me, but watching the cooking channel has inspired me to use my Chef’s Knife for everything! Even though I was close to cutting my fingers a few times making this dish with that knife, I can’t believe that I’ve been missing out all these years! I’m hoping to take a knife skills class sometime in the near future for fun.
I ended up making the entire recipe which was 1 pound of pasta, forgetting that this would be way too much food for just my husband and I. But we both loved the dish and ended up finishing all of it the next day. The only slight change I made to the original recipe was to add more garlic since I love the flavor of garlic. I made this dish alongside some fresh garlic bread and an apple, gorganzola, and walnut salad. I highly recommend making this dish if you are a mushroom lover.
For the gluten-free option, simply use your favorite gluten-free pasta.
For the recipe, head on over to the Food Network website – Rigatoni w/Creamy Mushroom Sauce (gluten-free option, contains dairy). I used 3 cloves of garlic.

The mushroom rigatoni is delicious!! It was a great hit with our 3 year old son also. Will definitely be making it again. Thanks Anjali!

Thanks Bijul for the comment! I love this dish and the use of mascarpone cheese to create a creamy sauce! Glad your son likes it as well – always nice to make one meal for the entire family!
