PENNE PORTABELLA (COPYCAT OF PASTA POMODORO'S DISH)



Penne Portabella (Copycat of Pasta Pomodoro's Dish) image

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use ripe portobello mushrooms: Ripe portobello mushrooms are more flavorful and have a better texture than immature mushrooms. Look for mushrooms that are dark brown in color and have a firm, meaty texture.
  • Cook the mushrooms properly: Portobello mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Use fresh kale: Fresh kale is more flavorful and nutritious than kale that has been sitting around for a while. Look for kale that is dark green in color and has no signs of wilting.
  • Don't overcook the kale: Kale should be cooked until it is wilted but still has a bit of a crunch to it. Overcooking will make it mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and has a good texture.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make it mushy and bland.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Make sure you use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of acidity and richness.

Conclusion:

This Spicy Penne with Portobello and Kale is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of spicy penne, tender portobello mushrooms, and wilted kale is simply irresistible. Plus, it's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
