Portabella Cream Sauce Recipes

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM PASTA WITH CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
• Slice the portobello mushrooms, about 1/4 inch thick. Place into a large mixing bowl and pour in olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, thyme, chili flakes, pepper, and salt. Toss until evenly coated. Pour onto the baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• While the portobello mushrooms are roasting, slice the button mushrooms. Heat a frying pan with 1 tbsp, of olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until nicely caramelized (about 8-10 minutes.)
• Deglaze the pan with white wine. Stir in the portobello mushrooms and cook for a couple of minutes. Stir in the vegetable broth and mustard and bring to a simmer. Pour in the heavy cream and cook until heated through.
• Pour sauce over desired pasta.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms; cook and stir until tender. Stir in the wine, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by 1/2. Stir in cream, and simmer again until the sauce becomes a thick gravy. Stir in the basil just before serving.

PASTA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Trim hard parts from mushrooms and discard. Rinse mushrooms quickly to remove grit; cut caps into slices and stems into small chunks. Combine in a medium skillet with 1 clove garlic (crushed and peeled), thyme, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Cook over sufficiently low heat so that mixture bubbles but mushrooms do not brown. Continue to cook, stirring infrequently, until they are quite shrunken in size and appear firm, 30 to 45 minutes. (At this point, you can pause for several hours before resuming cooking.) If you are using porcinis, soak them in hot water to cover for a few minutes so that they soften.
• Set a large pot of water to boil for pasta and salt it. Mince remaining garlic. Turn heat under oil to medium, and add garlic to the portobellos along with the drained porcinis. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to color. Add tomatoes and raise heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they break up and become saucy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Taste sauce and adjust its seasoning. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce, top with Parmesan, and serve.

BAKED PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND BABY PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil; cook the penne uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the sausage in the hot oil until crumbly and no longer pink, about 7 minutes: remove from the skillet, leaving the fat in the pan, and set aside. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the skillet and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have browned and begun to release their liquid, about 5 minutes more. Return the sausage to the skillet and pour in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper and return to a simmer, cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes more. Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella and Parmesan. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Broil in the preheated oven until the mozzarella cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICHES WITH TAHINI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place bread in single layer on baking sheet. Broil until toasted.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Add Creole seasoning and lemon pepper seasoning; sauté 2 minutes.
• Whisk ranch dressing, tahini and milk in medium bowl to blend. Divide mushroom-onion mixture among 6 toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 tablespoon tahini sauce, 2 tomato slices, 1 slice Swiss cheese and lettuce. Top with second toasted bread slice and serve.
• *Creole or Cajun seasoning is available in the spice section of most supermarkets.
• **Available at Middle Eastern and natural foods stores and some supermarkets.

PORTABELLA CHICKEN WITH CREAMY ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim fat and sinew from chicken breasts; pound to 1/2" thickness.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large saute pan; cook chicken breasts about 5-6 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked through; set aside and keep warm.
• Slice mushrooms into pieces about 3/8" thick; have ready to saute.
• Add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms become tender, 5 minutes or so, adding a little more butter if necessary; add rosemary just as mushrooms are becoming done.
• Stir in dry sherry and cook for 30 seconds or so, stirring up any bits from bottom of pan; add the cream, half the parsley, the black pepper, and cook for 30- 45 seconds more, until warmed through.
• Note: this sauce has sliced mushrooms in it, but if you prefer a creamier sauce, simply use a hand blender and puree the sauce in the pan and strain if desired, or pour it carefully into a blender and do the same.
• To serve, place chicken on serving plate and spoon creamy rosemary sauce over chicken.
