This is hands-down the best rich and velvety mushroom pasta recipe without cream. Loads of mushrooms, garlic, shallots, and a little parmesan, tossed with perfectly cooked pasta, and a lighter silky-smooth sauce!

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

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!

PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS



Pasta With Portobello Mushrooms image

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.

Categories     brunch, dinner, easy, lunch, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces portobello mushrooms
3 cloves garlic
2 or 3 thyme sprigs
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms, optional
3 cups tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped (canned are fine)
1 pound penne or other cut pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

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: Use a combination of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Look for firm, fresh mushrooms with no signs of bruising or blemishes.
  • Slice Mushrooms Thinly: This helps them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a Large Pan: This prevents the mushrooms from overcrowding and steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the Mushrooms in Batches: If using a lot of mushrooms, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When adding the pasta to the pan, make sure it's not overcrowded. If necessary, cook the pasta in batches.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme add a burst of flavor to the dish.
  • Serve Immediately: Mushroom feta pasta is best served immediately after cooking, while the pasta is still hot and the feta cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Mushroom feta pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will love. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, herbs, and cheeses to find your perfect combination.
