Cannabis-Infused Three Mushroom Stew with Pasta

Cannabis Infused Pasta

The earthy blend of marijuana and mushrooms is a much-loved combination for pasta in California these days. With weed now fully legalized, more and more are experimenting with their culinary skills. This mushroom stew dish goes well with whole grain or whole-wheat pasta, and it tastes great with rice, as well. The depth of flavor hints at rosemary, with a subtle carrot and sautéed leek taste.

You will need a readymade cannabis-infusion to add to this dish. Canna-oil or canna-butter is the most common and easiest way to turn an ordinary dish into a buzzing delight, and you should have some available before you start. Fortunately, it is easy to make at home or, if you would prefer not to make it yourself, readily available at many marijuana dispensaries.
