Mushroom Leek And Pea Pasta Recipes

PASTA WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM-PEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and peas; cook until the pasta is tender and the peas are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook prosciutto, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they release their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms; stir to coat. Add wine and let simmer for 1 minute. Add broth, return to a simmer and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in cream and pepper.
• Drain the peas and pasta; return to the pan, add the mushroom sauce and toss to coat.

CREAMY HAM, LEEK & MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Stir in the leeks, 2 tbsp water and some seasoning, cover, then cook for 5 mins over a medium heat until softened. Add the mushrooms and garlic, then cook for 3 mins more. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid.
• Stir the soft cheese into the leek and mushroom mixture, adding enough of the reserved pasta liquid to give a sauce-like consistency. Add the ham, basil leaves and Parmesan, then toss in the spaghetti.

SPAGHETTI WITH LEEKS, PEAS & PESTO

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions, adding the peas for the final 2 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, add the leeks, then gently cook for about 5 mins until softened. Stir in the pesto and 3 tbsp of the pasta cooking water, then simmer for a few mins.
• Drain the pasta and peas, then add to the frying pan, tossing everything together. Divide between 2 warm bowls and sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan, if using.

SAUTEED LEEKS, MUSHROOMS & ONIONS

Steps:

• Spray a non stick skillet with oil.
• Saute the onions until tender and starting to brown.
• Add Mushrooms and continue cooking for apprx 3 minutes.
• Add leeks, salt, pepper& oregano.
• Saute a further 8 minutes (if you like your veggies very soft cook longer).

CREAMY MUSHROOM AND LEEK PASTA

Steps:

• Cut off the root hairs and most of your green stems. Keep the stems for making stock. This part is edible when you cook it for longer periods of time.
• Cut your leeks in half lengthwise and then half each stock again so you have 4 long quarters. Finley slice the leeks and rinse in cold water to get rid of any dirt in the leek (leeks hide dirt very well). Drain well.
• Heat a large pan over medium/high heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and the finely chopped leeks. Saute 2 minutes.
• Cut mushrooms in half if they are small and into quarters if they are larger. Add halved/sliced mushrooms and 3 pressed garlic cloves. Saute uncovered, stirring often for 8 minutes or until mushrooms are soft.
• Stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream.
• Add 2 Tbsp chopped dill, 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste) and 1/8 tsp pepper. Simmer uncovered another 5 minutes for the sauce to thicken up a little.
• Pour over your favorite cooked pasta. This would work over just about any noodles. I served it over angel hair pasta (my favorite). Sprinkle with parmesan if you like :)

CREAMY LEEK & MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Wash the leeks thoroughly. Slice the root ends, hairs, and very leafy portion. You will be left with half the length of the leek you started with. Slice the leek vertically down the middle to make two half-cylinders. Repeat to get four semi-cylinders. Chop each piece and dump in a bowl of water immediately. Once you're done chopping all the leeks, rinse the chopped leeks in your bowl of water, turning them over with your hands. Let them sit in the water for a few minutes and you'll get rid of most of the dirt. Note: Check the post for step-by-step visual instructions!
• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot on medium flame. Add shallots when the oil is hot and sauté for a minute, until fragrant.
• Add chopped mushrooms and leeks and cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so, until the water evaporates (and you can continue cooking up to 8 minutes, for the mushrooms to brown). Stir in the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.Note: Here, you can either choose to set the vegetables aside in case you want crispier mushrooms and leeks, or you can just make the whole recipe in one pot (in which case your veggies will be softer - this is totally a preference thing!)
• Add water, oregano, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. For a richer pasta, you can substitute 1/2 cup of water with white wine. If you use wine, add that first, and cook for 2 minutes before adding the rest of the broth.
• Add pasta, and cook for about 8 minutes. Stir the pasta every 30 seconds at the beginning to ensure it's submerged in the liquid. checking frequently to make sure it stays al dente (refer to package instructions to ensure pasta cooks to your desire). Note: Alternatively, you can also cook the pasta and the vegetables separately and mix them together later, depending on your preferred consistency of vegetables.
• Once the pasta is ready, turn off the heat, add ricotta and mix well together. Then add parmesan and give that a good stir. Finally, garnish with a bit more freshly grated parmesan and fresh parsley and serve hot!

PENNE PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS & PEAS

Steps:

• Penne pasta is a favorite of mine for mixing with seasonal vegetables and ingredients. For this recipe, along with the penne pasta, I use some mushrooms, peas, some chicken stock (and a couple other things) to make a very simple sauce. So simple in fact that you can make it in about 20 minutes, so it's perfect even on those nights when you home form work late, and you need to get something on the table quickly. Best of all, once you know this basic recipe you can easily add or swap out ingredients. Enjoy! Recipe Overview and Keys to Success Like all pasta dishes, make sure you good the penne Al dente. Overcooked = Bad I like to cook the mushrooms down for about 20 minutes, until they are golden brown, firm in texture, and concentrated in flavor. Undercooked, they seem a bit slimy to me Add the frozen peas at the last minute. They don't take long to cook. Finally, the sauce here is really the chicken stock, reduced with some of the other ingredient. Taste as you go to make sure the salt and pepper is right, and make sure there is enough sauce so the pasta doesn't seem dry Ingredients (for 2) 1/3 lb penne pasta 3 cups sliced crimini mushrooms 1/3 cup frozen peas 1 large diced shallot 2 minced garlic cloves 1/3 cup chicken stock 1 sprig rosemary 1 - 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese Olive oil Salt and pepper Penne with Mushrooms & Peas Put a large pot of water on the heat to bring to a boil Heat a large skillet over high heat, and coat the bottom with olive oil Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper Toss, and continue to cook, tossing every few minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown, and firm in texture (about 20 minutes) When the mushrooms have 5 - 10 minutes left, and the water is boiling, add the penne to the water, and stir occasionally to prevent sticking Add the shallot, rosemary and garlic to the mushrooms and cook for about 1 minute to soften Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, and allow it to start reducing at a hard simmer Once the pasta is cooked, add the peas to the mushrooms, and drain pasta from the water Add the pasta to the mushroom sauce and season with salt and pepper Toss together a few times over high heat to integrate all the ingredients, and then kill the heat Add the parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil Toss again, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed Serve it up, with a bit more parmesan cheese, and enjoy! Wine with Penne with Mushrooms & Peas I'm going to fall back on my love for combining Mushrooms with Pinot Noir for this recipe. The earthy notes of both complement each other, and the lighter pinot won't overpower the pasta.
