We serve this Pasta with Velvety Walnut Mushroom Sauce at parties, and guests go wild for it. For an extra pretty showing for special occasions, pair this wonderful sauce with an orange-red pasta – the kind flavored with vegetables such as tomato, carrot, or squash. Your guests will ooh and ahh. I like to serve this dish with a large salad. It looks extra pretty on the plate, and it keeps me from eating all the pasta myself!
