SPAGHETTI WITH MUSHROOMS, GARLIC & PARSLEY

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Scatter the garlic & crushed red pepper flakes over the oil and cook, shaking the pan, until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Add as many of the mushrooms as will fit comfortably into the skillet.
• Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss in the sage.
• Add the remaining mushrooms as the mushrooms in the skillet wilt and make room.
• Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until the mushrooms are sizzling and brown, about 10 minutes. (If the mushrooms have given off a lot of water during cooking, you'll have to wait for that liquid to boil off before the mushrooms begin to brown.).
• Stir the spaghetti into the boiling wate; return to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 8 minutes.
• Add the stock to the browned mushrooms, bring to a boil, and lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer.
• Cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
• If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and pasta, fish the pasta out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet.
• If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and pour in the sauce.
• Toss in the parsley and bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring gently to coat the pasta with sauce.
• Check the seasoning, adding salt and peppers if necessary.
• Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the cheese, and serve immediately in warm bowls.

ROASTED GARLIC CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP WITH THYME

Steps:

• Prep:.
• Chop 4 Crimini mushrooms and 4 White mushrooms finely and set aside.
• Slice remaining White and Crimini mushrooms and reserve in separate bowl.
• Directions:.
• In a 5-quart pot, melt butter on med-high heat until slightly browned, 1-2 minutes - this will happen fairly quickly so be careful to watch it; turn heat down to medium.
• Gradually whisk in all-purpose flour - mixture will be bubbly.
• Stir in dried onion, granulated garlic, parsley and white pepper to rue and stir constantly for 2 minutes until onion and garlic are fragrant and slightly browned; mixture will seem on the dry side.
• Slightly lower your heat to Medium-Low and add contents of chopped mushrooms and mix thoroughly for 1 minute.
• Add your chicken stock to the mushroom mixture and bring heat up to Medium, stirring occasionally so your mixture doesn't stick to the bottom.
• Cook for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Add in the dried Thyme and mix thoroughly.
• Add your whipping cream, half-and-half or whole milk and whisk together. This will thin out your mixture a bit and make for a smooth consistency.
• Heat your mixture for 2 minutes.
• Add your sliced mushrooms and stir, until bubbly.
• Turn heat to Medium-Low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat. You soup will thicken as it stands.
