Fettuccine With Mushrooms and Marsala

Eat Your Vegetables!'s Note:

This recipe is from Vegan Italiano "I recommend using only white cultivated mushrooms here as wild mushrooms may overwhelm the sweet and nutty flavor of the Marsala wine. If you don't have Marsala, use port or Madeira instead." This recipe is very simple and comes together quickly. It's amazing how much complexity of flavor comes from the Marsala wine.
