Jason’s Deli has teamed up with the Mushroom Council to showcase the delicious taste of fresh mushrooms in the form of two new Cheesy Truffle Pastas.
Available for a limited time, both of the new pasta dishes put mushrooms front and center. The new Cheesy Truffle Pastas give guests the choice of either classic cheesy penne pasta or a cheesy chicken penne pasta, both of which are served with fresh mushrooms, spinach, savory truffle cheese, and a sprinkle of Asiago cheese on top. Both pastas are also served with a side of toasted herb focaccia bread. As Clare Wilson, Vice President of Culinary R&D at Jason’s Deli, says of the new offerings, "Mushrooms are not only delicious and versatile but also a perfect complement to the cheesy, savory flavors in our new truffle pastas. These dishes highlight how mushrooms can bring depth and richness to every bite, making them a must-try for our guests.”
