Penne with lambs lettuce & mushroom

Today i'm gonna share a recipe from a cookbook. It's a lambs lettuce & mushroom sauce for penne. The recipe was traditionally with spinach which tastes good as well. But one day my mom accidentally used lambs lettuce instead of spinach we kinda liked it more that way. So you can use spinach if you'd like it more.

The measurements will be enough for 6 people. 

Ingredients

450 g mushrooms
200 g heavy cream
300 g cream cheese
500 g lambs lettuce
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon

Wash your mushrooms, chop them & roast them with the vegetable oil in a pan. After that add your cream cheese & your heavy cream. My advise is to add the cream cheese first & add the heavy cream little at a time. That way you can control the consistency of the sauce you desire. If you don't want to use that much of heavy cream you can use milk as well.

Now add the vegetable bouillon or you can leave it out & just add a little bit of salt. Add the lambs lettuce but make sure to wash it first. We just seperated the leaves instead of chopping them otherwise they will shrink too much in the pan.

Our sauce is ready. We cooked the penne & garnished the sauce on top of it. If you like to you can cook the sauce & the penne together & serve it like that. But cooking it seperately gives you the opportunity to add as much sauce as you would like to eat at that moment.
