Cavatelli with Sausage & Mushroom Cream Sauce

There’s just something about heading up to the farm for the weekend that hits different. the peaceful drive, that first breath of fresh air… and of course Mama calling the night before with her classic line “Reno, what pasta should I make for you?” 😂

And without missing a beat, I always pick this one. Her sausage and mushroom cavatelli swimming in that silky, velvety cream sauce? Forget it. The whole house smells like heaven the second she starts cooking. The mushrooms get all tender, the sausage gets that perfect sizzle, and the cream wraps around every cavatelli like it’s giving them a hug. This dish doesn’t just taste good… it has a personality.

I’ve tried a lot of pasta, maybe too many😩😂 but nothing knocks this one out of the top spot. I need it at least once a month, no negotiations… and Mama knows it 🍝❤️

And if you want to take it to the next level, grab a chilled glass of @gratsiwine White. Trust me, it’s the perfect combo. 🍷✨
