Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Salt
2 tablespoons light olive oil
10 large shiitake mushroom caps, cut into thin strips
1 large tomato, cut into small dice
2 yellow bell peppers, cut into thin strips
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
20 ounces pappardelle or large bow-tie pasta
1 1/2 pounds rock shrimp (or other small shrimp), peeled and deveined
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup fish stock or bottled clam broth
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 large pinches saffron
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter (optional)
3 tablespoons chopped chives (cut into 1/2 inch lengths)

Steps:

  • Place a large stock pot (8-quart or larger) of lightly salted water over high heat, to bring to a boil for the pasta. In a large nonstick or well-seasoned saute pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add mushroom slices. Saute until mushrooms are limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add diced tomato to the pan. Saute until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl.
  • Add 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining oil to the pan. Add yellow peppers, and saute until limp, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add garlic to the pan and saute lightly; do not brown. Remove to bowl of peppers. Place pappardelle in pot of boiling water, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • While pasta is cooking, add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the saute pan. Increase heat to medium-high, and add shrimp. Saute until shrimp are pink but not fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl.
  • Reduce heat under pan to medium, and add wine, fish stock or clam broth, chicken stock and any juices collected in the bowls of mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and shrimp. Stir well with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the cream and saffron, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens and turns yellow from the saffron, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved vegetables and shrimp. Heat through, and add salt and pepper to taste. Add butter, if desired, and stir gently until it has melted. Add chives, reduce heat to very low, and cover pan.
  • Drain pasta well, and transfer to a warm serving bowl. Add saffron cream sauce, and toss gently to mix well. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to mushrooms. Can I substitute another vegetable, like zucchini or broccoli?

This recipe is too complicated for a weeknight meal. I'll save it for a weekend when I have more time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy. It was more like a thin soup.

The saffron cream sauce really makes this dish special. It's so flavorful and rich, and it pairs perfectly with the pappardelle noodles and shiitake mushrooms.
