Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb dry penne pasta
6 quarts water
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium Spanish onion, finely chopped
12 ounces portabella mushrooms or 12 ounces button mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup non-meat spaghetti sauce (Hunts or Classico)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb fresh buffalo mozzarella, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
parmigiano-reggiano cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add 2 Tbsp salt. Cook pasta 2 minutes fewer than the package directs. It should be too firm to eat.
  • Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain and put in a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add onion and cook until light golden brown (5 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms and cook until they have given off their water and it has evaporated (8 to 10 minutes).
  • Add wine, spaghetti sauce, butter and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium and cook until thickened (5 minutes).
  • Add mushroom mixture to bowl with the pasta. Add mozzarella and mix together. Transfer pasta to a baking dish and top with grated Parmigano-Reggiano.
  • Bake until bubbling and crusty on top (20 minutes).

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I usually have a few cups of leftover pasta in my fridge, so this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I still enjoyed this pasta dish. The mozzarella and herbs really helped to balance out the flavor of the mushrooms.

I love the crispy cheese on top of this pasta dish. I always add a little extra mozzarella to the top before I bake it.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I usually add a cup of cooked chicken or turkey to the sauce.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I always have a few mushrooms left over after I make a stir-fry, so this is a great way to use them up.

This pasta dish was okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping, but it was still a good meal. I think I would add more garlic and herbs next time.

This pasta dish was a disappointment. The mushrooms were bland and the mozzarella was rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pasta turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of mushroom. I used white button mushrooms, but I think a variety of mushrooms would add more flavor.

This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The combination of mushrooms, mozzarella, and herbs was delicious, and the baked pasta was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
