Portabella Mushrooms Stuffed With Italian Sausage image

Form Olive Garden. I haven't made these yet, but I think I will try it without the sauce. Update: I made these tonight and was going to make the sauce, but didn't have time. I had to substitue Italian bread crumbs for the croutons and I added chopped mushrooms stems. I also sprinkled with lemon juice after they were cooked and it was wonderful! I also used portobello and regular mushrooms-both were good!

FARFALLE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE



Farfalle with Mushrooms and Italian Sausage image

My husband makes his own Link Italian sausage and when he does I always have him package up a half dozen or so packs of sausage before puts it into the casings. I have several recipes that call for bulk Italian sausage and this is one of the tastiest and easiest to make.

Provided by Marsha Gardner

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb farfalle, rigatoni, penne pasta, your choice
1 lb italian sausage sweet, mild or hot, your choice, cooked and crumbled
12 oz mushrooms, fresh, sliced
3 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 c white wine
1 large roma tomato
1/2 c heavy cream
1/4 c basil, fresh, chopped
1/4 c parsley, italian, fresh, chopped
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
parmigiano-reggiano, grated

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with a fork until no longer pink. Add mushrooms, garlic, onion and Italian seasoning. Cook until onion is soft. Add wine and sauté until wine has reduced by half.
  • 2. Add cream and simmer for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, parsley, basil and pasta. Toss pasta to coat well and heat until pasta has absorbed some of the sauce. Transfer to a platter and garnish with grated cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage comes in a variety of flavors, from mild to spicy. Choose a sausage that you enjoy the taste of and that will complement the other ingredients in your dish.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Italian sausage is a ground meat, so it's important to cook it thoroughly to ensure that it is safe to eat. Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms have a more intense flavor than dried mushrooms. If you're using dried mushrooms, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown: Sautéing the mushrooms in butter or olive oil will help to bring out their flavor. Cook the mushrooms over medium heat until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Add the sausage and cook until it is heated through: Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the sausage to the pan and cook until it is heated through. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Italian sausage and mushrooms is a delicious dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. Serve it immediately with your favorite sides, such as pasta, rice, or bread.

Conclusion:

Italian sausage and mushrooms is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
