tagliatelle porcini

This is a very easy and tasty recipe, using gluten free tagliatelle and a porcini sauce and then using philadelphia light instead of double cream as it is a lighter sauce.  Where I live in Italy, we have black truffles and porcini mushrooms that you can go and pick in the forests around september. The fresh ones are fantastic, but the dried ones are available all year round and they have a fantastic taste. if you like mushrooms, you will not be disappointed. this recipe is gluten free and vegetarian.
