Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb dry penne pasta
6 quarts water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium Spanish onion, finely chopped
12 ounces portabella mushrooms or 12 ounces button mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup non-meat spaghetti sauce (Hunts or Classico)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb fresh buffalo mozzarella, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add 2 Tbsp salt. Cook pasta 2 minutes fewer than the package directs. It should be too firm to eat.
  • Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain and put in a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add onion and cook until light golden brown (5 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms and cook until they have given off their water and it has evaporated (8 to 10 minutes).
  • Add wine, spaghetti sauce, butter and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium and cook until thickened (5 minutes).
  • Add mushroom mixture to bowl with the pasta. Add mozzarella and mix together. Transfer pasta to a baking dish and top with grated Parmigano-Reggiano.
  • Bake until bubbling and crusty on top (20 minutes).

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the pasta was mushy. I won't be making this again.

I didn't have any mushrooms on hand, so I used zucchini instead. It was still delicious!

The pasta was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a minute or two less.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning to give it more flavor.

The mozzarella cheese melted perfectly and created a delicious golden crust on top of the pasta.

I wasn't sure how the mushrooms would taste in this dish, but I was pleasantly surprised. They added a nice earthy flavor.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The pasta always comes out perfectly al dente and the sauce is flavorful and creamy.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The creamy sauce and the crispy mozzarella topping are irresistible.
