- 1 piece of leek
- 2 mushrooms

How to make Macaroni with Almond Sauce:
- In order to prepare the recipe for pasta with almond sauce and mushrooms, the first thing we do is prepare all the ingredients. In this way, we finely chop the leek, wash and slice the mushrooms and crush the nuts. For the latter we can use a mortar or an electric mixer. Likewise, when crushing them we can add a little water to soften the mixture.
- Then, we sauté the leek in a pan with a little hot oil.
- Tip: You can add more nuts if you want, or remove any from the list.
- When the leek is slightly golden, add the minced dried fruit and sauté everything together for a few seconds. Separately, we boil the macaroni following the instructions on the package. If you prefer, you can opt for another type of pasta, since this recipe for pasta with mushroom and almond sauce is also suitable for spaghetti, spirals, etc.
- To continue with the preparation of the almond sauce for pasta, we add the cream or milk cream and stir to integrate it with the previous ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste, let it heat up and immediately remove it to crush it with an electric mixer and obtain a smooth sauce without lumps.
- In the same pan, or in another, we sauté the sliced mushrooms with very little hot oil, since this product tends to release water when cooking. Sauté the mushrooms separately so as not to crush them with the rest of the nut sauce, but if you prefer you can cook them in the previous step and pass them through the blender.
- When the mushrooms are ready, add the crushed almond and walnut sauce and mix well. To soften the preparation a bit, add a glass of milk and integrate with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Once the sauce is ready, we add the paste and integrate it. We serve the macaroni with almond sauce and mushrooms immediately to prevent them from getting cold.
