Creamy Shiitake Alfredo Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain. Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; saute garlic until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium and gradually stir flour into garlic-butter mixture until dissolved and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Gradually stir Parmesan cheese into garlic-flour mixture until cheese is melted and mixture is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly pour milk into cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 5 minutes; season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until sauce reaches desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a medium saucepan, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, margarine, milk, garlic powder and basil and stir over low heat until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 minutes. Toss sauce with pasta and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve.

• Heat butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add shallot and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Toss in oregano, thyme, and asparagus.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Add pasta, 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid, and 3 ounces Parmesan to skillet. Cook, tossing and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir in cream, and cook until warmed (do not let boil). Season with salt and pepper. Add pasta to skillet, toss to combine, and top with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Go ahead and start your boiling water for the fettuccine noodles and let them cook while you are preparing the sauce.
• **This is the way I make it: In a large saucepan, on LOW to MEDIUM heat, begin melting the cream cheese first and then add the butter so it will not burn. Once the cream cheese is almost melted, add the milk. Once the milk gets warm or hot, add the freshly grated parmesan cheese. As the mixture thickens, add more milk to the amount of your desire, probably an additional 1/2 cup of milk, maybe even 1 additional cup of milk. Be careful or you will add too much and it will not thicken anymore. Keep stirring as you are simmering on LOW heat until smooth.
• ***I like to add chicken and shrimp to the fettuccine mixture too. (In a separate saucepan, cook the chicken with some olive oil, Mrs. Dash original, Lawry's garlic salt blend and salt and pepper. Once the chicken is nearly cooked go ahead and add the shrimp since it doesn't take as long to cook. After the chicken and shrimp are cooked completely, add it to the alfredo mixture. Serve the sauce with chicken and shrimp in one serving dish and your fettucine noodles in a different dish. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place dried mushrooms in medium bowl. Add hot water and let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Remove mushrooms from water, squeezing excess water back into bowl. Strain and reserve soaking liquid. Slice mushrooms, discarding stems.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until fat renders, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Pour off half of fat. Add shallots to bacon in skillet and sauté 1 minute. Add dried and fresh mushrooms and rosemary and sauté 3 minutes. Add stock and mushroom-soaking liquid. Boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 10 minutes. Add half and half and simmer until beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Add pasta to large pot of boiling salted water. Cook until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, rewarm mushroom sauce over medium-low heat.
• Drain pasta. Add to sauce and stir until coated. Mix in 2/3 cup Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to plates. Sprinkle with parsley.
