Pasta With Mushrooms and Prosciutto image

Getting the consistency of the creamy mushroom sauce right is key for this pasta recipe. You want to reduce it just until it clings to the pasta to create a light coating; be careful not to reduce it too much.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (about 6 slices)
1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as chanterelles, maitake, oyster, crimini, and/or shiitake), torn into bite-size pieces
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, plus more for serving
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
12 ounces pappardelle or fettuccine
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Arrange prosciutto in a single layer in pot and cook, turning once or twice, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in same pot over high. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shallots and 1 tsp. thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes. Add stock and reduce heat to low. Bring to a simmer and cook until only a thin layer of stock coats bottom of pot, 5−7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions.
  • Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with mushrooms and add 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Crumble half of prosciutto into pot. Increase heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add cream, return to a simmer, and cook, tossing, until pasta is coated, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, add butter, and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • Divide pasta among bowls. Top with more thyme and crumble remaining prosciutto over; season with pepper.

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups finely chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried orégano, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and the caps sliced
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
two 28-ounce cans Italian tomatoes, drained well and chopped
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into strips

2/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook the onion, the garlic, the red pepper flakes, the basil, and the orégano in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened. Add the mushrooms, cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender, and transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. In the skillet melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes.

The pasta may be prepared up to this point and kept covered and chilled overnight. Bring the pasta to room temperature before continuing with the recipe. Sprinkle the pasta with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, dot it with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits, and bake it in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pasta is tender.

CREAMY GARLIC PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND PROSCIUTTO



Creamy Garlic Pasta with Mushrooms and Prosciutto image

Categories     Garlic     Mushroom     Pasta     Pork     Pea     Fall     Prosciutto     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
3/4 cup whipping cream
3 large garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
12 ounces crimini or button mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inches pieces
12 ounces penne or other tubular pasta
1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
8 thin prosciutto slices, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips
Additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring broth, cream, garlic, and crushed red pepper to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; cover and keep warm.
  • Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until brown and tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.
  • Drain pasta and return to pot. Add cream mixture, mushrooms and peas and stir over low heat until well coated with sauce, about 3 minutes. Mix in prosciutto. Cover and let stand 1 minute. Transfer to bowl. Serve, passing additional Parmesan cheese separately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pasta. A high-quality pasta will hold its shape better and absorb the sauce more evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your pasta dish more flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of their shape.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. A good quality cheese will add a lot of flavor to your pasta dish.
  • Garnish your pasta dish with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
