It was like a really good Alfredo taken up to the next level. I used half and half and doubled the amount of mushrooms with excellent results. Definitely one of the best pasta dishes out there. Thank you for sharing.

I made this for my husband for our first wedding anniversary and he absolutely loved it. I must say he was very surprised by how great this dish was. I left out the prosciutto because neither one of us like it. WONDERFUL!!!
