SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI AND MUSHROOMS
This spaghetti dish is very easy to prepare and you can also substitute other types of pasta for a change. I have also used half broccoli and half spinach for a nice change. Crusty French bread and a garden salad make this a delicious meal.

FETTUCCINE WITH BRAISED MUSHROOMS AND BABY BROCCOLI
I buy baby broccoli at my local Trader Joe's. The stalks are thin, like broccoli raab's, and the flowers are delicate. If you really want an intense mushroom experience, seek out the fabulous mushroom fettuccine made by Al Dente Pasta. You can find it in gourmet markets, in catalogues such as Zingerman's, and online.

Steps:
- Place the dried mushrooms in a Pyrex measuring cup and pour on 2 cups boiling water. Let soak 30 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Place a strainer over a bowl; line it with cheesecloth, a coffee filter or paper towels; and drain the mushrooms. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer to extract all the flavorful juices, and measure out 1 1/2 cups of the broth. Rinse the mushrooms, away from the bowl with the broth, until they are free of sand. Squeeze dry and set aside. If very large, chop coarsely.
- Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or saucepan over medium heat, and add the shallot. Cook, stirring for a few minutes, until tender, and add the fresh mushrooms and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms begin to soften and to sweat, about five minutes. Add the garlic, and continue to cook the mushrooms, stirring often, until they have softened a little more, about two minutes. Add the reconstituted dried mushrooms, the wine and rosemary (or thyme), and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring often, until the wine evaporates and the pan is almost dry, five to 10 minutes. Stir in the mushroom broth. Bring to a simmer, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms are thoroughly tender and fragrant and the surrounding broth is thick and gravy-like, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, and keep warm.
- When the pasta water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the baby broccoli. Blanch for five minutes, until tender but still bright. With a slotted spoon or skimmer, transfer to the pan with the mushrooms.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook al dente, until firm to the bite, following the directions on the package but checking a minute or two before the end of the designated cooking time. (Note that some egg noodles, such as Al Dente Pasta, take only three to four minutes). Add a ladleful of pasta cooking water to the mushrooms and baby broccoli, drain the pasta, and toss with the mushrooms and broccoli in a large pasta bowl or in the pan. Serve at once, passing Parmesan at the table.

Steps:
- Steam 4 cups broccoli florets until crisp-tender. Rinse under cold water. Drain.
- Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and stemmed shiitake) and garlic and sauté until mushrooms are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream, thyme and red pepper and bring to boil. Add pasta and broccoli and cook until pasta is coated, tossing gently, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the right pasta: Short pastas like penne, rotini, or fusilli are best for this dish as they can hold the sauce well. Avoid using long pastas like spaghetti or linguine, as they can be difficult to twirl and eat.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian and refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta, which should be slightly firm to the bite. To achieve this, cook the pasta for 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms and broccoli, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing and won't get as flavorful.
- Season to taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to suit your preference.

This pasta with broccoli and mushrooms is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
