This rather flexible mushroom pasta recipe can be customized to your taste: add any mushrooms you have on hand (or even several types), and use any pasta your family loves. The finishing touch: pistachios. A rather unusual ingredient for pasta, but they really add a touch of flavor!

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.

1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
