  • 1/2 cup 10% cream - or dairy alternative
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup Romano cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • Pinch Salt/Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Take the tray out of the oven and drip Hedessent Hickory Bacon flavour over mushrooms and toss. Spread out on tray again. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Mushrooms should look browned with most of the moisture cooked out.
  • Heat well-salted water in a large pot for pasta. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large pan on medium-low, add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté.
  • Cook pasta in boiling water a minute short of package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water for sauce and then drain pasta.
  • Add pasta to the pan and toss. Stir Hedessent Cooked Egg Yolk flavouring into cream. Pour cream over pasta and toss. Add some of the pasta water to loosen the sauce. Season with pepper and additional salt if needed. Turn off heat and toss in cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tip:
If you are substituting your butter, cream and cheese to make this dish vegan friendly, we suggest replacing the Romano cheese with nutritional yeast and add 5-8 drops of Hedessent Parmesan Flavour. Infuse butter flavour by adding
Hedessent Butter Flavouring. Start with 5-10 drops, taste, and adjust as needed.

 

 

 

Meet Jackie

Following a career as a professional artist and interior designer, Jackie Troup and her husband moved to his family fruit farm in Jordan, Ontario. Cooking and baking had alway been a passion and hobby, and the new scenery of farm and garden was a wealth of inspiration – one that kickstarted a new path for Jackie and her love for food. Though not classically trained, she was a voracious reader of all things baking and cooking, and in 2009, Jackie started Blossom Bakery, a small wholesale company selling to local stores, farm stands, and farmers markets. The bakery went on to win the Town of Lincoln Small Business Award and Shannon Passero’s Women in Business Award.

Jackie’s love of developing recipes and creative flair turned to obsession while trying to meet the needs of the ever-growing vegan and gluten communities. The bakery has become a place where everyone can enjoy a tasty treat to suit any palate. Now a seasonal retail bakery on her family farm, customers can see where their food is made and what inspired their creation.
