Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces dry pasta (I used Toscani-shaped pasta)
Kosher salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots (minced)
5 garlic cloves (minced)
8 ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms (sliced)
8 ounces white mushrooms (sliced)
8 ounces portabella mushrooms (roughly chopped)
black pepper
1 teaspoon rosemary
3 tablespoons of tomato paste
¼ cup merlot wine
½ cup of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (Parmesan)
½ cup packed parsley
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta to al dante in boiling salted water according to box instructions. Keep 1 cup of the pasta cooking water then drain the pasta.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive and butter over medium-high heat, add the shallots and garlic and cook, tossing regularly for 2 to 3 minutes (manage the heat so that the garlic does not burn).
  • Add all the mushrooms and toss them around in the pan for a couple of minutes, adding another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Season with a good pinch of kosher salt, black pepper and the rosemary. Cook the mushrooms for about 7 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they turn color and release their juices.
  • Add the tomato paste, wine and about ½ to 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Cook over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes (this becomes your mushroom pasta sauce).
  • Add the cooked pasta to the mushroom sauce. Toss to combine. If needed add a little bit more of the pasta cooking water.
  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and finish with a sprinkle of parsley, walnuts and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately!

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Cremini mushrooms, also known as baby Bellas, are the perfect choice for this pasta dish. They have a mild, earthy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly: This will help them cook evenly and release their flavor.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the mushrooms plenty of room to brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many mushrooms to the skillet at once, they will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat: This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
  • Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper: This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Add the garlic and herbs: Once the mushrooms are browned, add the garlic and herbs and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant.
  • Add the white wine: The white wine will help to deglaze the skillet and add a touch of acidity to the dish.
  • Add the pasta and cooking liquid: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for the amount of time specified on the pasta package.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted.

Conclusion:

This easy cremini mushroom pasta is a delicious and satisfying meal that can be made in under 30 minutes. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The combination of earthy mushrooms, creamy sauce, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table.
