PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
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.

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: Look for portobello mushrooms that are large, firm, and have a deep, brown color. Avoid mushrooms that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Clean the mushrooms properly: Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Do not wash the mushrooms under running water, as this can make them soggy.
- Slice the mushrooms evenly: Cut the mushrooms into 1/2-inch thick slices. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat: This will help them develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Season the mushrooms well: Be generous with salt and pepper when seasoning the mushrooms. This will help bring out their flavor.
- Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your pasta dish, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Choose a cheese that will melt well and has a strong flavor, such as Parmesan, cheddar, or Gruyère.
- Serve immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
