BAKED CHEESY PASTA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS



Baked Cheesy Pasta With Wild Mushrooms image

A more sophisticated take on mac and cheese, this golden-topped casserole has roasted wild mushrooms for a deep, earthy character, and melted fontina for the gooey factor. You can use any kind of mushrooms here. If you can't get wild ones (also called exotic, and most of them are actually farmed), use whatever is available. The key is to roast them until they are well browned and crisp at the edges so the flavor intensifies. Serve this as a vegetarian main course or as a rich side dish to roast chicken or meats. You can assemble the casserole the day before. Just add a few minutes onto the baking time if it's cold from the fridge when you pop it into the oven.

Categories     casseroles, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound mixed wild or cultivated mushrooms, such as oyster, maitake and shiitake
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus a few grinds
2 fresh rosemary branches
1/2 pound orecchiette, farfalle or other short pasta
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh ricotta
5 ounces fontina cheese, grated (1 1/4 cups)
2 ounces Parmesan, grated (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 garlic clove, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Trim the mushrooms and cut into 1-inch pieces. Toss with the olive oil, the salt, a few grinds of pepper and the rosemary. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast, tossing once or twice, until golden brown and crisped around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Discard rosemary.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for at least a few minutes less than the package directs. (You want the pasta very al dente; it will finish softening in the sauce.) Drain well.
  • Turn oven up to 500 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the cream, ricotta, fontina, Parmesan, sage, pepper, garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir in the pasta and mushrooms. Arrange in a shallow 2-quart gratin dish or 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mushrooms: Opt for fresh, wild mushrooms like chanterelles, porcini, or shiitake. If using dried mushrooms, rehydrate them in warm water before cooking.
  • Clean Mushrooms Properly: Gently brush off any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Avoid washing them, as this can make them soggy.
  • Use a Heavy Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan helps evenly distribute heat and prevents the mushrooms from sticking.
  • Cook Mushrooms in Batches: If using a lot of mushrooms, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This ensures even cooking and prevents them from steaming.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the pasta, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This can prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and becoming sticky.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, or chives add a burst of flavor to the dish. Add them towards the end of cooking to preserve their delicate taste.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese, additional chopped herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.

This recipe for pasta with wild mushrooms is a delightful combination of earthy flavors and textures.
