Easy Mushroom And Parmesan Pasta Food

MUSHROOM PASTA WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Set the timer for a few minutes less than the package instructions and then taste: the pasta should be just done, still with some firmness. The pasta should also taste salty from the salted water. Drain the pasta and save out 1/2 cup pasta water (you'll likely only need a few tablespoons).
• Clean the mushrooms, then slice them. Thinly slice the onion. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Then mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is cooked out and the mushrooms are tender (taste to assess doneness). Add 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice and increase heat to high. Cook 2 minutes until the edges of mushrooms are golden brown. Taste and add a few more pinches of salt until the flavor pops. Stir in the Italian breadcrumbs or panko and remove the mushrooms to a bowl.
• Mince the garlic. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and garlic just starts to turn golden. Remove from the heat before garlic browns.
• To the skillet with the garlic butter sauce, add the mushrooms, cooked pasta, grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and just enough pasta water until saucy (we used 2 to 3 tablespoons pasta water). Taste again and add a few more pinches of salt if desired. If using, stir in the soft crumbled goat cheese at the end until it makes a creamy sauce. Enjoy warm.

PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup cooking water; drain pasta, and return to pot.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cover skillet (it will be full); cook, tossing occasionally, until mushrooms have softened and released their liquid, 7 to 10 minutes. Uncover skillet, and reduce heat to medium; cook, tossing occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add mushroom mixture and Parmesan cheese to pasta; toss to combine. Add as much reserved pasta water as necessary to create a light sauce. Serve immediately, topped with more Parmesan cheese.

EASY MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat, then melt the butter. Add mushrooms, and saute for 15 or more minutes. First they'll sweat and go limp, then toast. You're going to saute them until they've lost almost all their moisture and become hard. (Turn up heat to medium-high if necessary.) Add garlic to the mushrooms at about the 12 minute mark, and saute until it browns. When mushrooms and garlic are nearly done, add pasta to pan, and saute, stirring vigorously until it loses its moisture and has a drier, harder texture. (If you're adding an optional ingredient, such as red pepper, that needs to be cooked, you should add it now.) Liberally add fresh ground pepper, until the pepper adds some heat to the dish. Add salt to taste. Add herbs and any remaining optional ingredients and saute for a moment more. Transfer to plates. Sprinkle with at least 1/4 cup parmesan per serving (go ahead and add more, if you wish) and toss.

CREAMY PANCETTA PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the pappardelle according to the package directions.
• While the pasta is cooking, put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pancetta until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the cream. When the cream is hot, add the Parmesan and stir.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Stir well and season with some pepper. I find it does not usually need salt because of the salty pancetta and Parmesan. Serve immediately. I like to serve it with an arugula salad.

CREAMY PARMESAN BAKED PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter; set aside.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix together the panko, oil, 1 cup of the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pancetta to the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture and stir to combine.
• Heat the saucepan with the drippings over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and cream, whisking to avoid lumps, and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the peas, remaining 2 cups Parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with additional Parmesan before serving.
