Cheese Stuffed Pasta With Mushrooms Sage Food

CREAMY PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt.

CHEESE-STUFFED PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS & SAGE

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sage; cook 3 to 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently.

• Add pasta and salami; cook and stir until heated through. Serve topped with cheese.

BAKED CHEESY PASTA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Trim the mushrooms and cut into 1-inch pieces. Toss with the olive oil, the salt, a few grinds of pepper and the rosemary. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast, tossing once or twice, until golden brown and crisped around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Discard rosemary.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for at least a few minutes less than the package directs. (You want the pasta very al dente; it will finish softening in the sauce.) Drain well.
• Turn oven up to 500 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the cream, ricotta, fontina, Parmesan, sage, pepper, garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir in the pasta and mushrooms. Arrange in a shallow 2-quart gratin dish or 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.

SQUASH, MUSHROOM & SAGE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the squash, garlic and sage for a few mins until beginning to brown. Splash in some water, then cook fiercely for about 15 mins until the squash is softening and the pan looks dry. Add the mushrooms, then fry for 5 mins more, stirring every so often, until everything begins to caramelise.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Drain, then add to the squash mix with a little of the pasta water. Toss with most of the Parmesan and serve in bowls, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
