Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ (16 ounce) package orecchiette pasta
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 (8 ounce) packages sliced fresh mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh sage, cut into thin strips
½ cup vermouth
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in orecchiette and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Reserve 2/3 cup pasta water prior to draining pasta.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and mushrooms; cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Add garlic and sage and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour in vermouth; bring to a boil, then reduce to heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Mix in cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Toss pasta to coat well. Season with salt and pepper. Top with parsley and serve.

I'm a vegetarian and I thought this dish was delicious. The mushrooms were the perfect substitute for meat.
