PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS



Pasta With Portobello Mushrooms image

The key to giving a portobello (or any mushroom) dense texture is to cook it slowly in oil so that most of its moisture is driven out. My biggest successes came in taking whole mushrooms and cooking them, covered, for as long as two hours. Nearly as good, however, and more than twice as fast, is to cut up the mushrooms and cook them in oil, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes. At that point, you not only have fabulous mushrooms, which you can use in a pasta sauce, as I do here, or to top salads or stir into rice dishes, but you also have very good-flavored oil. To further improve the mushrooms' flavor, I like to use the trick popularized by Marcella Hazan: add a few reconstituted dried porcini to the portobellos.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces portobello mushrooms
3 cloves garlic
2 or 3 thyme sprigs
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms, optional
3 cups tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped (canned are fine)
1 pound penne or other cut pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
  • Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Portobello mushrooms are the best choice for this recipe, as they are large and meaty. However, you can also use other types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake.
  • Cook the mushrooms properly: Portobello mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite. If you overcook them, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will also affect the taste of the dish. Choose a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and that has a good texture.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means that it should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Make sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and that complements the taste of the mushrooms and pasta.

Conclusion:

Pasta with portobello mushrooms is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
