Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound rigatoni
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound assorted mushrooms, stemmed, sliced into 1/3-inch pieces
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
2 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
2 cups grated Gruyere
2 cups chopped Tuscan kale (3 to 4 leaves)
1 cup grated Gruyere
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup smoked almonds, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest (2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the pasta: Cook the rigatoni in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, about 3 minutes less than the package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Sear the mushrooms, undisturbed, for 3 minutes; stir, and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sear on the reverse side an additional 2 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.
  • Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the Dutch oven. Add the garlic and flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and simmer gently until the sauce just thickens, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan, Gruyere and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool slightly, then add half of the seared mushrooms, and puree with an immersion blender.
  • In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the sauce and the remaining half of the mushrooms, adding about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water or more if desired. Transfer to a baking dish.
  • For the gremolata: In a medium bowl, combine the kale, Gruyere, panko, smoked almonds, olive oil and lemon zest.
  • Scatter the gremolata over the pasta and bake until golden on top and bubbling, about 40 minutes.

PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND GREMOLATA



Pasta With Mushrooms and Gremolata image

This savory pasta is just one idea for gremolata, a pungent mixture of garlic, lemon zest and parsley. It's terrific with the sautéed mushrooms and makes a great condiment for a variety of roasted vegetables.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 plump garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 cup finely minced flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound cultivated or wild mushrooms, like shiitakes, chanterelles or oyster mushrooms, or a combination, trimmed and quartered if small, cut in thick slices if large
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces fettuccini or farfalle
1/4 to 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, to taste
1/4 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the gremolata, place the minced garlic, parsley and lemon zest in a mound and chop them together with a chef's knife. Set aside.
  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and when it's hot, add the mushrooms. Sear the mushrooms, stirring with a wooden spoon or tossing in the pan, until they are lightly browned and begin to sweat. Add the salt and the white wine and continue to cook, stirring or tossing the mushrooms in the pan, until the wine has just about evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the gremolata and pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Taste and adjust salt. Keep the mixture warm while you cook the pasta.
  • When the water comes to a rolling boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing instructions on the package. Before draining, remove 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add 1/4 cup of it to the mushrooms and stir together.
  • Drain the pasta and toss with the mushrooms in a large pasta bowl or in the pan. If it seems dry, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. Serve with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Provided by Isabel Castillo

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups water
kosher salt, to taste
1 cup polenta
1 cup milk, of your choice
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
pepper, to taste
olive oil, to taste
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
kosher salt, to taste
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lb mixed mushroom, such as shiitake and cremini, steams trimmed, sliced
½ cup dry sherry
¼ cup vegetable stock
pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
2 lemons lemon zest
kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Make the polenta: Bring salted water to boil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Pour in the polenta and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to make sure the polenta isn't sticking or burning.
  • Right before serving, stir the milk, Parmesan, and butter into the polenta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, make the mushrooms: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sweat until softened and slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt, then add the thyme leaves and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are caramelized and softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the sherry to deglaze the pan and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom. Cook off the alcohol, about 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then let the liquid reduce for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Make the gremolata: In a small bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, and lemon zest. Season with salt to taste.
  • Divide the hot polenta between serving bowls and top with the mushrooms and gremolata.

WHOLE-GRAIN PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS, ASPARAGUS AND FAVAS



Whole-Grain Pasta With Mushrooms, Asparagus and Favas image

Pasta companies have made great strides when it comes to whole-grain pasta. On the small scale, Community Grains in Northern California is producing some excellent pasta with its amazing whole-wheat flour, and on the larger commercial scale, companies like Barilla are selling better and better products. I used Barilla penne for this springtime mix.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds fava beans, shelled
1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1/2 pound wild mushrooms, quartered or sliced, or creminis, quartered if small, sliced if large
2 garlic cloves or 1 small bulb green garlic, minced
Salt to taste
4 large basil leaves, torn into small pieces or cut in slivers
3/4 pound whole-wheat pasta, such as penne or fusilli
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water while you shell the favas. Fill a bowl with cold water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the asparagus. Blanch thin stalks for 3 minutes, thicker ones for 4 to 5. Transfer to the cold water, drain and cut into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Bring the water back to a boil and add the favas. Boil 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the beans. Drain and transfer immediately to the cold water. Allow the beans to cool for several minutes, then slip off their skins by pinching off the eye of the skin and squeezing gently.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes, and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have begun to soften and sweat, about 3 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, fragrant and juicy, another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the asparagus and favas and remove from the heat but keep warm.
  • Bring the water in the pot back to a boil and add the pasta. Cook al dente, using the timing instructions on the package as a guide but checking the pasta a minute before the time indicated is up. When the pasta is ready, use a ladle to transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the vegetables and another 1/2 cup to a bowl, in case you want more to moisten the mixture. Drain the pasta and toss at once with the vegetables and basil. Add more of the cooking water if desired. Serve hot, passing the Parmesan at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. For this recipe, we recommend using a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms have a mild, earthy flavor, while shiitake mushrooms have a more robust, umami flavor.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. We recommend using a fruity, extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Add the gremolata at the end. Gremolata is a mixture of chopped parsley, lemon zest, and garlic. It adds a bright, fresh flavor to the dish and should be stirred in just before serving.

Conclusion:

This pasta with mushrooms and gremolata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of earthy mushrooms, creamy sauce, and bright gremolata is sure to please everyone at the table.
