SUNNY'S EASY MUSHROOM, PEAS AND PASTA WITH 1-2-3 ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pasta: In a large pan with sides and a lid, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sage and fry until just crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with a tiny pinch of salt.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring, until wilted and darkened, 5 to 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add the pasta, peas and chicken stock. Cook, stirring and tossing, until all the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
• For the 1-2-3 alfredo sauce: Add the garlic to the pan and toss, then add the cheese and heavy cream. Stir to coat everything, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, until the sauce has combined and thickened slightly, about 8 minutes.
• Top each portion with a fried sage leaf.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the gnocchi: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Wash the potatoes and, while still wet, coat with salt. Bake until fork tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cut the potatoes in half, then scoop out the flesh and run through a ricer or food mill.
• Place the potatoes on a clean surface in a mound, and then make a well in the center. Place the flour and egg in the center of the well, and gently mix the flour and egg into the potatoes with a fork, being careful to avoid over-mixing.
• Bring the dough together gently with your hands, and then roll it out into tubes. Cut into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
• Chill the gnocchi until firm, 1 hour.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float, 5 minutes, then drain.
• For the sauce: In a pan set over medium heat, add the butter, onions and garlic. Saute until tender, 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, 5 minutes. Add the cream and porcini powder and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and slowly add the egg yolk and mix to temper. Return the pan to the heat and bring to a light simmer to thicken the sauce. Add the gnocchi and bring the sauce back to a simmer.
• To serve, plate the gnocchi and garnish with the Parmesan and basil.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO WITH PANCETTA AND PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Halve and seed the spaghetti squash; roast, then scrape into strands (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallot and thyme to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the peas and parmesan. Continue cooking until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat.
• Add the squash and pancetta to the sauce. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring, until combined, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the parsley.

POTATO SALAD WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Put 2 pounds chopped red-skinned potatoes in a pot, cover with water by 2 inches and add salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon; sprinkle with salt and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar. Boil 10 ounces frozen peas in the same pot until just tender. Drain, rinse and add to the potatoes. Whisk 3/4 cup each mayonnaise and sour cream, and 1/2 cup each chopped chives and dill. Toss with the potatoes and peas; season with salt and pepper.

ONE-POT MUSHROOM & POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and potato. Cover, then cook over a low heat for 5 mins until the potatoes start to soften. Throw in the aubergine and mushrooms, then cook for a few more mins.
• Stir in the curry paste, pour over the stock and coconut milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins or until the potato is tender. Stir through the coriander and serve with rice or naan bread.

HAM & PEA ALFREDO PASTA

• 2.) Remove from heat and place in a bowl with Ham and Peas which you will add to the sauce later.
• 3.) On medium low heat, melt Butter and Cream Cheese. Stir to combine and then add Whipping Cream.

PEAS AND MUSHROOM ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine as label directs.
• While it's cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in large saute pan.
• Saute mushrooms and garlic in olive oil until juices evaporate and mushrooms are lightly browned.
• Add Alfredo sauce and peas to mushroom and garlic; heat through.
• Add 1 cup Romano cheese; stir to combine.
• Drain fettuccine.
• In large mixing bowl, toss fettuccine and Alfredo-sauce mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot with remaining Romano.

MUSHROOM ALFREDO

Steps:

• In saucepan, combine soup, milk, red pepper, cheese, garlic and parsley.
• Bring to boil at medium heat, stirring often.
• reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins.
• Pour sauce over noodles and sprinkle with pepper and additional cheese if desired.
• Notes: This is a quick-to-fix meal (takes longer to cook the fettuccine than the sauce), that will become a favourite. I usually increase the garlic to 2 plus cloves (the larger the better - but I am a garlic freak !).

DELICIOUS MUSHROOM ALFREDO

Steps:

• Melt half the butter in medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
• Add the garlic, onion, and mushroom and sauté until the liquid is released. 5-7 minutes.
• Add the remaining butter, cream, and white pepper and bring mixture to a simmer.
• Stir often.
• Begin your noodles or tortellini at this point so everything will be done at the same time.
• Add the Mozzarella cheese and simmer sauce for 8-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is smooth, stirring constantly.
• When sauce has thickened add the Parmesan cheese and stir frequently until smooth. Remove from heat when sauce has reached desired consistency.
