BAKED POTATOES WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Bake the Potatoes:.
• Preheat oven to 425°F Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and prick all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork pierced through the skin meets no resistance.
• Prepare the Mushroom Ragout:.
• While the potatoes are baking, prepare the ragout.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat, heat the butter and olive oil until butter is melted and foamy. Add shallots and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes longer, or until the mushrooms are soft and starting to brown. In a small bowl, whisk together white wine and flour until smooth. Add to the pan along with chicken broth and paprika. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until thick. Stir in the sour cream and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes to heat through (make sure not to bring to a boil, as this can cause the sauce to curdle). Remove from heat immediately, and stir in dill and parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
• Assembly:.
• Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a cutting board to cool for 5 minutes.
• Cut a slit through the top of each potato, and gently push on the ends to create a small pocket for the topping. Sprinkle the inside of each potato with a little salt.
• Ladle a generous amount of mushroom ragout onto each potato, letting the excess spill over the sides and onto the plate (yes, it's messy, but it's the best part!). Finish with a sprinkling of parsley or dill, if desired, and lots of black pepper. Serve immediately.

HEARTY MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
• Meanwhile, in a high sided skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil ripples, add the mushrooms, allspice, bay leaf, oregano, and black pepper and cook until the mushrooms darken and become tender, 6-7 minutes.
• Add the carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and cubanelle and bell peppers and season with salt. Cook for 6-7 minutes more, then stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Add the wine and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute to reduce the wine, then stir in the stock and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with Worcestershire and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes more, then discard the bay leaf.
• While the ragout is cooking, salt the boiling water and cook the penne to al dente. When the pasta is done, drain it and return it to the hot pot. Toss with half the sauce, the basil, and the 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Top bowlfuls of pasta with the remaining sauce and pass more grated cheese at the table. Enjoy!
