Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt
1 tablespoon salted butter
12 white button mushrooms, very thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup white wine
1 pound angel hair pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup goat cheese (chevre)
Freshly ground black pepper
Minced fresh parsley, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then add the wine and cook until evaporated.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, leaning toward the al dente side. Do not overcook; this will take 1 to 2 minutes!
  • Add the cream to the skillet with the mushrooms. Drain the pasta (reserving some of the pasta water) and add the pasta to the mushrooms, along with the fontina, Parmesan, Romano, goat cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Stir gently to combine, adding hot pasta water as needed for consistency. Don't overmix; if there are little clumps of cheese here and there, it's fine! Taste and add more salt if needed. The mixing stage should happen very quickly.
  • Turn the pasta out into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for greasing the grill pan
4 to 6 portobello mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup marinara sauce (store bought or homemade)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
  • Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over both sides of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on the grill to prevent the mushrooms from sticking. Grill until the mushrooms are heated through and tender, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Place the grilled mushrooms on top of the marinara sauce and top with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle with the cheeses and top with the butter pieces. Bake until the cheese melts and the top is golden, about 15 minutes. Serve.

SHEET-PAN MUSHROOM PARMIGIANA



Sheet-Pan Mushroom Parmigiana image

This smart weeknight dinner offers all the comforting flavors of a classic Parmigiana, but with minimal work. Earthy portobello mushrooms are used here, offering a perfect cradle for the red sauce and creamy mozzarella. Use good quality store-bought marinara sauce (vodka, arrabiata or amatriciana), a much-underrated pantry item that can turn around a meal quickly. This flexible recipe can be scaled up or down without too much fuss. It accounts for two portobello mushrooms per person, but if you're serving them with pasta or a salad, you could reduce to one each. The basil-scented bread crumbs finish the mushrooms with a lovely, herbaceous crunch. Extra bread crumbs keep well in an airtight container and are wonderful for topping pasta, salads, soups and roasted vegetables.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (1 pint)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 portobello mushrooms, stems removed
3 cups store-bought or homemade marinara sauce
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup (1/2 ounce) basil leaves, finely chopped, plus more leaves for topping

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan, along with half the garlic, and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat the tomatoes.
  • To the sheet pan, add the mushroom caps in between the tomatoes, gill side up, and drizzle each generously with olive oil. (Don't skimp here, as the olive oil will add lots of rich flavor.) Scatter the mushrooms with the remaining garlic, and season each mushroom with salt and black pepper. Fill each mushroom with marinara sauce, and top with cheese. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly and golden.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the bread crumbs, basil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a bowl or jar.
  • To serve, transfer mushrooms to serving plates, along with a few of the roasted cherry tomatoes. Top each mushroom with the basil bread crumbs and scatter with a few basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Use fresh, firm mushrooms that are free of blemishes. White button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Clean the mushrooms properly: Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Do not soak the mushrooms in water, as this will make them soggy.
  • Slice the mushrooms evenly: Slice the mushrooms evenly so that they cook evenly. If the mushrooms are too thick, they will not cook through properly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Use a hard cheese that melts well, such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano. Grated cheese is easier to work with than shredded cheese.
  • Season the mushrooms well: Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before frying them. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: When frying the mushrooms, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them soggy.
  • Fry the mushrooms in batches: If you are frying a large batch of mushrooms, fry them in batches. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding the pan and will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately: Fried mushrooms are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.

Conclusion:

Fried mushrooms are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and they can also be a healthy and satisfying snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make fried mushrooms at home.
