Penne Pasta Recipe In Alfredo Sauce With Roasted Mushrooms

PENNE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the penne pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the garlic and mushrooms until mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and pepper, and mix in the butter.
• In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta and the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley to serve.

MUSHROOM ALFREDO PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 2-2.5 quarts/liters of water to a boil. Add 1/2 tablespoon salt, followed by the pasta. Cook until al dente (i.e., slightly firm to the bite, not crunchy nor soft). Drain well.
• As the pasta boils, make the sauce: In a large skillet (large enough to accommodate the pasta), melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium or medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the rest of the butter and heavy cream, and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for several minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in nutmeg. Add 1/4 cup parmesan, then more if desired. Adjust seasoning to taste. Stir in pasta and cook on very low heat, tossing to combine for 1 minute until warm.
• Serve immediately. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired.

Add the minced garlic, and cook 2 more minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in cream and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• To serve, toss the cooked penne with the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
