PENNE PORTABELLA (COPYCAT OF PASTA POMODORO'S DISH)
I saw one of the owners of Pasta Pomodoro make this on a local tv show. The measurements are approximate as he only demonstrated the ingredients used, no measurements. But this dish is easy and pretty hard to mess up. Mine tasted just as good as the one from the restaurant (I just tried this dish about a couple of weeks ago). A couple of pointers to make it tasty: Be sure to salt your water for pasta, this gives your pasta some flavor. After adding the pasta to the sauce, cook it for a minute of two so the pasta soaks up the sauce. After this step, you can taste and adjust flavor, adding parmesan cheese to give it more flavor (optional). Note: I actually didn't use the entire package of porchini mushrooms, only a little more than 1/2 of the package because it's expensive, also I used baby spinach instead of arugula because my kids do not appreciate the "bite" of the arugula.

Steps:
- Soak the dried porchini mushrooms in the hot water (about 10 minutes), then squeeze the liquid out of the mushrooms and chop it up. Be sure to reserve the tasty soaking water for the sauce!
- Prepare the sausage according to package directions (cooked throughly and browned), drain.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions as well, however, minus one to two minutes to finsh "cooking" in the sauce. Meanwhile start the sauce:.
- Heat up a large pan (large enough to fit the pasta in), add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, sautee garlic just until fragrant, add in cooked sausage, portobello mushrooms and porchini mushrooms, and (first add 1/4 cup) of the reserved porchini soaking water as well as the wine. Let this cook for a few minutes. If the portobello mushroom is still dry, add more of the reserved soaking water (add all if possible), cook until the portobello is browned and tender.
- Add cream and heat through, stirring to incorporate the flavors together. Next add the cooked pasta and arugula or spinach leaves, cook for a minute or two to let the pasta soak up the sauce and wilt the arugula or spinach.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding parmesan cheese then salt and pepper if desired.

Steps:
- Heat a medium nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 cup of the oil and the garlic, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the garlic, stirring often and mashing gently with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and beginning to soften, 5 minutes. Add the basil, tomatoes and their juices, the carrots and cheese rinds. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Bring to a simmer and adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 35 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- Remove the rinds, carrots and basil. At this point you can use an immersion blender to puree slightly or leave it as a chunky sauce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne 2 minutes less than the package directions. Meanwhile, rewarm the sauce in a large, straight-sided skillet set over medium heat. Using a spider, strain the pasta from the water and add it directly into the pan with sauce, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Before stirring, sprinkle the pasta with the grated cheese. Toss the pasta, cheese and sauce together. Add the butter, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the reserved pasta water and continue to cook until the sauce is creamy and the pasta is al dente. Serve topped with more cheese if desired.

PENNE WITH CHICKEN, PORTABELLA & PEPPERS
This is something I came up with to have a restaurant style pasta dish at home. You can vary the sauce used, in order to change the recipe. It also works great with a red pepper sauce or an alfredo sauce. I used to use white mushrooms, but the potabellos really brought it to the next level.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. This is especially true for the tomatoes, which should be ripe and juicy.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes.
Conclusion:
This Penne Portabella is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. The creamy sauce is the perfect complement to the al dente pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
