Creamy Mushroom Pasta Bake
Baked pasta is always my favourite. They are so tasty and so cheesy and bubbly and simply delicious.I have been making quite a lot of pasta recipes recently, because hubby got three packets of different shaped pasta and a packet of spaghetti as well. Because of his love for pasta. Somehow i managed to finish an entire packet of spiral pasta by making this zuchinni pasta and a very tasty eggplant pasta (will share it soon).

About this Recipe
The fleshy and edible fruit bodies of several species of macrofungi are known as edible mushrooms (fungi which bear fruiting structures that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye). They can grow below ground (hypogeous) or above
ground (epigeous), and can be picked by hand. Criteria for determining edibleness include the absence of poisonous effects on humans as well as desirable taste and aroma. Edible mushrooms are eaten for their nutritional and culinary benefits.
Mushrooms, particularly dried shiitake, are high in umami flavour.
Many fungal species are harvested wild or cultivated to make edible mushrooms. Wild mushrooms that are easily cultivated and common are frequently available in markets.

Ingredients for Mushroom Pasta Bake Recipe
Pasta :
Fresh pasta frequently contains eggs, the flavours of dried and fresh pastas are likely to differ. Similarly, the flavours of egg noodles, soba noodles, and rice noodles will differ due to the different ingredients.
Garlic :
Garlic has a distinct, pungent flavour that, when raw, borders on spicy and, when cooked, borders on nutty. Sulfur compounds, such as diallyl disulfide, contribute to the mustard-like flavour profile. It loses its acrid raw flavour when dried and crushed into garlic powder, making it ideal for seasoning dishes.
Mushrooms:
Edible mushrooms have a meaty, earthy flavour and are one of the foods that contain umami, the fifth primary taste.
Oregano :
It has a strong, pungent aroma and flavour and should be used with caution. In cooking, both fresh and dried forms of the herb are used. Oregano is anti-inflammatory and has the ability to kill certain infections. It is high in dietary fibre, as well as vitamins A, C, K, and iron.
