PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND GREMOLATA
This savory pasta is just one idea for gremolata, a pungent mixture of garlic, lemon zest and parsley. It's terrific with the sautéed mushrooms and makes a great condiment for a variety of roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- To make the gremolata, place the minced garlic, parsley and lemon zest in a mound and chop them together with a chef's knife. Set aside.
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and when it's hot, add the mushrooms. Sear the mushrooms, stirring with a wooden spoon or tossing in the pan, until they are lightly browned and begin to sweat. Add the salt and the white wine and continue to cook, stirring or tossing the mushrooms in the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the gremolata and pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Taste and adjust salt. Keep the mixture warm while you cook the pasta.
- When the water comes to a rolling boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing instructions on the package. Before draining, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add 1/4 cup of it to the mushrooms and stir together.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the mushrooms in a large pasta bowl or in the pan. If it seems dry, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. Serve with Parmesan cheese if desired.

GARLIC MUSHROOM PASTA
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.

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.

Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the pasta: Cook the rigatoni in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, about 3 minutes less than the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Sear the mushrooms, undisturbed, for 3 minutes; stir, and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sear on the reverse side an additional 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the Dutch oven. Add the garlic and flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and simmer gently until the sauce just thickens, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan, Gruyere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool slightly, then add half of the seared mushrooms, and puree with an immersion blender.
- In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the sauce and the remaining half of the mushrooms, adding about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water or more if desired. Transfer to a baking dish.
- For the gremolata: In a medium bowl, combine the kale, Gruyere, panko, smoked almonds, olive oil and lemon zest.
- Scatter the gremolata over the pasta and bake until golden on top and bubbling, about 40 minutes.
PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Follow the Pasta with Tender Vegetables recipe, adding rosemary to the Sauteed mushrooms and parsley when tossing the pasta.
Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your pasta dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms properly. Cook them over medium-high heat until they are browned and tender. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing.
- Make sure the pasta is cooked al dente. This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine will help to brighten the flavors of the dish. Avoid using a sweet wine, as this will make the dish too cloying.
- Don't overcook the gremolata. The gremolata should be made just before serving, so that the herbs stay fresh and flavorful. If you overcook it, the herbs will lose their flavor and the gremolata will be bland.
Conclusion:
Pasta with mushrooms and gremolata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
