Best 6 Baby Bella Mushrooms Recipes

SAUTéED BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Start by thoroughly rinsing the baby bella mushrooms under water. Pat them dry and then thinly slice (about ¼ inch thick). If you buy pre-washed and sliced mushrooms, you can skip this step.
• In a large skillet, combine the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter is fully melted and the oil is hot, add in the sliced mushrooms with a good pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. Around this time, you'll end up with a decent bit of excess moisture in the pan from the mushrooms and this is okay.
• Add in the garlic and thyme (or other herbs if using), stir, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Most of the moisture from the mushrooms should have evaporated but if not, you can drain it off. Garnish with herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, and ENJOY!

SAUTEED BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS (& MORE RECIPES!)

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms, then slice them. Chop the fresh thyme and oregano.
• In a saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often (the mushrooms will start to release their liquid at this point).
• Add the herbs and kosher salt and pepper and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is cooked out and the mushrooms are tender. (Taste to assess doneness.)
• Turn off the heat and add lemon juice and stir. Taste and add another pinch salt as necessary.

STUFFED BABY BELLAS

Steps:

• Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and finely chop them. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, fennel seed, onion, garlic, lemon zest, half of the cheese, the chopped mushroom stems, breadcrumbs and spinach and season with salt and pepper. Brush lightly with EVOO and stuff the mixture into the caps.
• Arrange the caps on a rimmed baking sheet or in a baking dish. Leave some room around each mushroom to prevent the caps from getting steamy. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the nuts on the caps and transfer to the oven. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

PASTA WITH BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Dissolve bouillon cube in hot water and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• While pasta is cooking, add olive oil to a medium skillet and adjust heat to medium. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and kosher salt. Cook for 3 minutes. Add wine, increase heat to medium-high, and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, white pepper, and crushed red pepper. Continue to cook until liquid is reduced by about 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss mushroom mixture with cooked pasta. Top with Asiago cheese and serve.

CREAMY PASTA SKILLET WITH BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• While pasta cooks, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add mushrooms and garlic. Cook and stir until mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. Add bacon and onion and cook and stir until the onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, basil, dried parsley, dried onion, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and salt, which should soak up any grease or liquid in the pan. At this point, everything should look like it's covered in almost a paste.
• Stir in Alfredo sauce. Pour in 2 cups of milk; pour remaining 1/2 cup into the Alfredo sauce jar to clean out and pour into the skillet. Mix everything together over low heat; things will be very thin and runny, and that is what you want. Add mozzarella and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let simmer until thickened.
• Fold drained pasta into the sauce. Plate up portions and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
