Steps:

ROASTED PORTOBELLOS WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, and carefully scrape away the gills using a spoon. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid. Remove from the heat and fill with the pesto. Return to the oven and continue to roast until thoroughly softened, about 10 more minutes.

PAPPARDELLE WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS, SPINACH AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts and sauté until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
• Bring large pot of water to boil. Add spinach and cook until just wilted, about 20 seconds. Using tongs, transfer to bowl of ice water. Return water in pot to boil. Add garlic and boil 1 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel garlic and slice thinly. Drain spinach. Squeeze out any excess moisture from spinach. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store pine nuts in airtight container at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate spinach and garlic separately.)
• Preheat broiler. Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta; boil until tender but firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, place mushrooms on baking sheet. Brush with 4 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil mushrooms until lightly charred and tender, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board. Cut each mushroom into 4 wedges. Set aside.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add blanched garlic and sauté until golden, about 2 minutes. Add spinach and mushrooms; sauté until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add pasta and 1/2 cup cheese to spinach mixture; toss will. Add enough reserved pasta cooking liquid to moisten pasta, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve, passing additional cheese separately.

PASTA WITH SPINACH PESTO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• While pasta is cooking, in food processor or blender, combine spinach, tofu, lemon juice, garlic, broth, cheese, pepper, and Italian seasoning, process until smooth. Set aside.
• Spray a large non-stick saute pan with cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook onions and mushrooms until tender. Reduce heat to low, add pesto mixture and heat until hot.
• Toss pasta with sauce and bacon bits. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. NOTE: If sauce seems too thick, thin to desired consistency with pasta cooking water or broth.

PESTO-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms and finely chop stems.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chopped mushroom stems, shallot, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour wine into the skillet; cook and stir mixture using a wooden spoon until liquid is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool mixture to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the olive oil mixture over the top each mushroom and place, top-side up, on a grilling pan. Mix pesto and pine nuts with the mushroom stem mixture together in a bowl; spoon into each mushroom. Sprinkle Italian cheese blend over the filling.
• Grill mushrooms on the preheated grill until edges are blackened and stuffing is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

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.
