Categories     Main dish or side dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces* short pasta, like penne, rigatoni, or casarecce, plus saved pasta water
16 ounces baby bella (cremini) mushrooms (or a mix of other types)
1/2 small sweet onion or yellow onion
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3 tablespoons salted butter, divided
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Italian breadcrumbs or panko (optional)
4 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or sliced fresno pepper)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Creamy variation: 3 to 4 ounces soft crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Set the timer for a few minutes less than the package instructions and then taste: the pasta should be just done, still with some firmness. The pasta should also taste salty from the salted water. Drain the pasta and save out 1/2 cup pasta water (you'll likely only need a few tablespoons).
  • Clean the mushrooms, then slice them. Thinly slice the onion. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Then mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is cooked out and the mushrooms are tender (taste to assess doneness). Add 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice and increase heat to high. Cook 2 minutes until the edges of mushrooms are golden brown. Taste and add a few more pinches of salt until the flavor pops. Stir in the Italian breadcrumbs or panko and remove the mushrooms to a bowl.
  • Mince the garlic. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and garlic just starts to turn golden. Remove from the heat before garlic browns.
  • To the skillet with the garlic butter sauce, add the mushrooms, cooked pasta, grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and just enough pasta water until saucy (we used 2 to 3 tablespoons pasta water). Taste again and add a few more pinches of salt if desired. If using, stir in the soft crumbled goat cheese at the end until it makes a creamy sauce. Enjoy warm.

This pasta dish gets most of its flavor from the sauteed mushrooms, along with a little garlic and Parmesan cheese. For a more complex flavor, use a variety of mushrooms.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound linguine or other long pasta
Coarse salt and ground pepper

6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

EASY MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN PASTA



EASY MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN PASTA image

Categories     Mushroom     Pasta     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Yield 2-6 people, depending on how much pasta you add.

Number Of Ingredients 9

a cup or so of leftover cooked pasta (spaghetti, macaroni, doesn't matter) per person
1 tb olive oil
1 tb butter
8 oz diced mushrooms
2 or 3 cloves of garlic, minced
handful of chopped fresh basil or italin parsley (optional)
1/4 cup of parmesan per serving
salt and pepper
Up to a 1/2 cup diced prosciutto, red pepper, toasted walnuts, crumbled gorgonzola, or anything else that you have on hand and crave. (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat, then melt the butter. Add mushrooms, and saute for 15 or more minutes. First they'll sweat and go limp, then toast. You're going to saute them until they've lost almost all their moisture and become hard. (Turn up heat to medium-high if necessary.) Add garlic to the mushrooms at about the 12 minute mark, and saute until it browns. When mushrooms and garlic are nearly done, add pasta to pan, and saute, stirring vigorously until it loses its moisture and has a drier, harder texture. (If you're adding an optional ingredient, such as red pepper, that needs to be cooked, you should add it now.) Liberally add fresh ground pepper, until the pepper adds some heat to the dish. Add salt to taste. Add herbs and any remaining optional ingredients and saute for a moment more. Transfer to plates. Sprinkle with at least 1/4 cup parmesan per serving (go ahead and add more, if you wish) and toss.

GARLIC MUSHROOM PASTA



Garlic Mushroom Pasta image

My mom used to make this for me as a kid. It is easy to whip up and can be modified. Change the veggies, add some bacon, use less garlic, whatever. Sometimes I've used one egg and stirred in some margarine (or butter or olive oil) but I like it best like this. This is sized as smaller servings, almost as a side dish size.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ large onion, diced
5 large mushrooms, sliced
8 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add about 1 teaspoon olive oil to keep spaghetti from sticking. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer hot spaghetti back to pot.
  • Stir eggs into spaghetti; allow heat from spaghetti to cook the eggs. Stir onion and mushroom mixture and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese into spaghetti over low heat until eggs are fully cooked and cheese is melted. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese.
