Pappardelle With Creamy Mushroom and Pine Nut Sauce image

Anyone who likes mushrooms and enjoys their pasta sweet and creamy should try this. I normally prefer spicier food, but made this for dinner last night and thought it was delicious. I heated the left-overs in the microwave for lunch today, and the sauce tasted even better. I used lite cream and penne rigate in place of the pappardelle. Recipe was recently featured on Australian television cooking show, Fresh.
