Cheesy Mushroom Pappardelle Food

MUSHROOM PAPPARDELLE WITH TALEGGIO CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain; reserve 3/4 cup cooking water.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over high heat. Brown half the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with 2 tablespoons butter and remaining mushrooms; transfer to plate. Add shallots to skillet; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and wine; cook until wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add reserved cooking water; bring to a boil. Swirl in remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Toss pasta with mushrooms, cheese, and parsley until pasta is coated and cheese starts melting. Season with salt and pepper.

PAPPARDELLE WITH MUSHROOM RAGU

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, pulse the walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped; remove to a small bowl. Add half the mushrooms to the food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Slice the remaining mushrooms.
• Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are dry, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until coated, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, then rinse the empty can with 1/2 cup water and pour it into the pot. Add the rosemary and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
• When the sauce is almost ready, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the pasta to the sauce. Cook, tossing, until well coated. Stir in half the parsley and season with salt and pepper; remove the rosemary sprig. Divide the pasta among bowls and top with the remaining parsley.

PAPPARDELLE WITH MIXED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Brush off any dirt from the mushrooms with a pastry brush or a dish towel. Slice the mushrooms thinly, but tear girolles, chanterelles and blewits in half. Put the olive oil in a very hot frying pan and add the mushrooms. Let them fry fast, tossing once or twice, then add the garlic and chilli with a pinch of salt (it is very important to season mushrooms lightly, as a little really brings out the flavor). Continue to fry fast for 4-5 minutes, tossing regularly. Then turn the heat off and squeeze in the lemon juice. Toss and season to taste.
• Meanwhile cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Add to the mushrooms, with the Parmesan, parsley and butter. Toss gently, coating the pasta with the mushrooms and their flavor. Serve, scraping out all of the last bits of mushroom from the pan, and sprinkle with a little extra parsley and Parmesan.

CHEESY MUSHROOM STACKS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top position, 3 inches below the broiler. Preheat the broiler. Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the oil and the garlic in a small bowl. Brush the rounded side of the mushroom caps with the garlic oil and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, gill-side down.
• Stir together the breadcrumbs, oregano and remaining teaspoon oil in a second small bowl; set aside.
• Broil the mushrooms until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn each cap over, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and broil until just softened, about 1 minute. Top each with a tomato slice, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and broil until the tomatoes are softened and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture and broil until the breadcrumbs are browned, the mozzarella is melted and the mushrooms are fully cooked, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.

CREAMY MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:
