Zoodles with Mushrooms

Zoodles with mushrooms – we’ve been busy picking pine mushrooms up in beautiful Beechworth,  so thought we’d better make the most of them. This mushroom pasta sauce uses a variety of mushrooms (pine, button, swiss and shitake).  I ‘ve gone for the zucchini noodles (zoodles) because we love them and they add a green element to the dish, you can use any pasta you like. Instead of parmesan cheese, I have grated macadamia nuts over the top,  which gives a nice creamy texture.
