FROM THE PANTRY: CREAMY MUSHROOM PASTA



From the Pantry: Creamy Mushroom Pasta image

If you're snowed in, or just way too tired for a trip to the store for provisions, this comforting pasta is perfect. Think beef stroganoff meets chicken paprikash (without the meat). The sauce is uber-creamy without the help of cream. Instead, the combo of evaporated milk, flour and mustard do the trick.

Kosher salt
8 ounces bow tie pasta
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil

CREAMY PASTA WITH CRISPY MUSHROOMS



Creamy Pasta with Crispy Mushrooms image

Supermarkets would have you believe it's always mushroom season. It is-for white buttons, maybe. But the first cool fall days bring feathery maitakes, meaty oysters, and other flavorful varieties worth seeking out at the farmers' market. Whichever one you pick, all they'll need is a quick sear in a hot pan before being tossed into a creamy pasta sauce.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pasta     Mushroom     Vegetarian     Parmesan     Milk/Cream     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb. mixed mushrooms (such as maitake, oyster, crimini, and/or shiitake), torn into bite-size pieces
Kosher salt
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
1 lb. spaghetti or bucatini
1/2 cup heavy cream
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook half of mushrooms in a single layer, undisturbed, until edges are brown and starting to crisp, about 3 minutes. Give mushrooms a toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until all sides are brown and crisp, about 5 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate; season with salt. Repeat with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and mushrooms and more salt.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and return all of the mushrooms to the pot. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions.
  • Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with mushrooms and add cream and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Increase heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat. Add lemon zest and juice, parsley, butter, 1/2 oz. Parmesan, and lots of pepper and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and top with more Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms have a more intense flavor and a better texture than canned or frozen mushrooms.
  • Clean the mushrooms properly. Use a damp cloth to wipe the mushrooms clean. Do not wash them under running water, as this can make them soggy.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, will add a nice flavor to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the mushrooms. Overcooked mushrooms will become tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just tender.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. A freshly grated Parmesan cheese will add a lot of flavor to the sauce.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Creamy mushroom sauce is best served immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

Creamy mushroom sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. It is also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a creamy mushroom sauce that will elevate any dish.
