FAQs

Can I use a different type of mushroom?

Yes, you can! Button mushrooms, cremini, or portobello mushrooms will work well if you don’t have chestnut mushrooms. Just make sure to slice them thickly for the best texture.

Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just swap out the regular spaghetti for your favorite gluten-free pasta, and follow the recipe as usual.
