I have been going through some of my favorite recipes that I originally posted in 2014 when I first started my blog. Some of those recipes are getting the boot, while others, (like this one), are making a comeback to make sure the world doesn’t forget about them. This Pasta Da Vinci recipe is so creamy and delicious, I can’t let it go!
Why Pasta Da Vinci is one of my favorites:
What Kind of Marsala Wine Should I Use?
Dry Marsala is best when making savory dishes such as this one. It’s also what I use for my Copycat Olive Garden Stuffed Chicken Marsala recipe. This is the variety that I always use when I cook.
What Can I Substitute For Marsala Wine?
The flavors of this meal definitely circulate around the Marsala wine flavor, but if you would like to attempt a substitution, here are some options:
For a non-alcoholic Substitute: 1/4 cup of white grape juice + 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract + 2 Tablespoons Sherry vinegar.* Madeira Wine Dry Sherry (not cooking sherry.) or, 1/2 Dry Sherry 1/2 Sweet Vermouth 1/4 cup dry white wine + 1 teaspoon Brandy *
Can I Use Button Mushrooms?
Yes! In fact you can really use any kind of mushrooms that you like, but for the most authentic version of this meal, go with Shiitake. You can use less than the amount notated in the recipe if preferred.
