Cheese Stuffed Pasta With Mushrooms Sage Recipes

CHEESY STUFFED PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the paccheri for 1 minute less than the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Rinse the pasta thoroughly with cold water after draining.
• Combine the ricotta with 1/2 cup of the pesto and 2 cups of fontina, then mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a piping bag or resealable bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the mixture into each paccheri. (This doesn't need to be perfect. If a paccheri is very torn or broken, do not use.) Stand each filled paccheri upright in a 10-inch springform pan until it is packed tightly.
• Thin the alfredo sauce with the reserved pasta water in a bowl, then pour it into the pan over the filled paccheri, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups fontina cheese.
• Bake until the mixture is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the rest of the pesto and garnish with the fresh basil. Remove the springform side, then slice and serve.

PASTA WITH BUTTER, SAGE AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook pasta until it is tender, but not quite done.
• Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
• When the pasta is just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
• Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.

CHEESE-STUFFED PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS & SAGE

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sage; cook 3 to 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in broth; cook and stir 3 min. or until most the liquid is cooked off.
• Add pasta and salami; cook and stir until heated through. Serve topped with cheese.

• Add in the mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt; cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until the mushrooms begins to release their juices.
• Add in the garlic; continue to stir/saute until the liquid has evaporated.
• Add in the sage, rosemary, and wine; cook and stir 5-10 minutes until the wine has evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed.
• Add in the tomatoes and their juices; bring to a simmer; cook and stir frequently for 10-20 minutes until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture smells fragrant; season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
• When the water reaches a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt and gradually add in the pasta.
• Stir to make sure the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Cook until al dente; moisten the mushroom topping with 2-4 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water; drain the pasta.
• Toss the pasta with the mushrooms and remaining 1 tablespoon oil (if desired) in the pan or in a warm pasta bowl.
• Sprinkle on the cheese and serve.

CREAMY PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND SAGE

• Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onions; cook 8 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Stir in garlic and sage; cook and stir 1 min. Add cream cheese and broth; stir. Cook on medium heat 3 to 5 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan.
• Drain pasta; spoon into large bowl. Top with mushroom sauce.

LINGUINE WITH MUSHROOM SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the linguine according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 2 minutes more. Add the sage and saute 2 minutes more. Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, stir, and remove from heat.
• Drain the cooked pasta and pour into a large pasta bowl. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss. Add the mushroom mixture and toss again. Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Top with the grated parmesan cheese and offer more to pass at the table. Serve immediately.

SQUASH, MUSHROOM & SAGE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the squash, garlic and sage for a few mins until beginning to brown. Splash in some water, then cook fiercely for about 15 mins until the squash is softening and the pan looks dry. Add the mushrooms, then fry for 5 mins more, stirring every so often, until everything begins to caramelise.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Drain, then add to the squash mix with a little of the pasta water. Toss with most of the Parmesan and serve in bowls, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
