Spaghetti With Peas And Tomato Sauce And Mushrooms Recipe 465 Food

GARLIC-TOMATO PASTA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the edges start turning golden, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes, then add 1 1/2 cups of the boiling water; stir to dissolve the tomato paste. Simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, adding the peas halfway through. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until softened but not cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the skillet along with the basil; toss over medium heat, adding more of the reserved cooking water if needed, until the pasta is al dente. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup parmesan. Top each serving with basil and the remaining parmesan.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat water to a boil for the pasta, salt water, drop in pasta and cook to al dente.
• Wipe mushrooms clean with damp towel. Remove woody stems. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
• Heat a large deep skillet with extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until deeply golden and tender, 10 minutes.
• While mushrooms cook, halve the leeks lengthwise. Cut off a couple of inches from tough tops. Trim off root end. Thinly slice the leek then vigorously wash in a large bowl of cold water, separating all the layers to free of grit. Let leeks sit a few minutes then lift out of the water and dry on kitchen towel.
• Add leeks to mushrooms along with garlic and season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more then add wine, reduce half a minute then stir in cream and heat through. Toss pasta with mushrooms and adjust seasoning. Top with grated cheese at the table.

SPAGHETTI WITH PEAS AND TOMATO SAUCE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a large frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is transparent and the garlic is fragrant. Add the peas, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, wine, parsley and seasonings. Gently simmer on low with the pan almost covered. (I use a metal, shallow baking pan to slightly cover my cast iron frying pan.) For the Mushrooms: Heat a medium sized frying pan with the olive oil and butter. Add the mushrooms, parsley, wine, salt and red pepper flakes and sauté for a minute or two. Set aside while preparing the spaghetti. Lift the spaghetti out of the water, draining as you lift, and into the sauce. Plate the spaghetti. Place the mushrooms in the pan the sauce was in to quickly reheat and top on the spaghetti. Garnish with grated cheese a drizzle of olive oil and dash of red pepper flakes.

SPAGHETTI WITH SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and rosemary and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Return the sausage to the skillet, then add the cream and 1 cup water; bring to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the spaghetti to the skillet and toss with the sauce, adding some of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Top with shredded Parmesan, if desired.
