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.

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 for a Perfect Penne with Grilled Portabellas and Pecorino:
- Choose the Right Pasta: Penne is a great choice for this dish as it holds the sauce well and is sturdy enough to stand up to the grilled portabellas. However, you can use any short pasta shape you like, such as rigatoni, fusilli, or rotini.
- Grill the Portabellas to Perfection: To get the best flavor from the portabellas, grill them over medium-high heat until they are tender and slightly charred. You can also cook them in a grill pan or on a griddle.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, and basil add a burst of flavor to this dish. Chop them finely and add them to the sauce at the end of cooking.
- Don't Overcook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Al dente pasta is the ideal texture for this dish.
- Garnish with Pecorino Cheese: Pecorino cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to this dish. Grate it fresh over the top of the pasta before serving.
Conclusion:
Penne with Grilled Portabellas and Pecorino is a delicious and satisfying pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
