Portobello Mushroom Pasta With Basil Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, cut mushrooms in half and thinly slice. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms; saute until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes and olives. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs, salt and pepper., Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with mushroom mixture, adjusting consistency with reserved pasta water. Sprinkle with cheeses.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the stems of the mushrooms, and carefully scrape away the gills using a spoon. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, rounded side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are beginning to soften and throw off liquid. Remove from the heat and fill with the pesto. Return to the oven and continue to roast until thoroughly softened, about 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in boiling water.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet, and saute the shallots, ginger and mushrooms until the mushrooms soften and release their liquid.
• Blend the ricotta and yogurt thoroughly. Then, thoroughly blend a little of the yogurt mixture with the cornstarch to form a smooth paste. Spoon the cornstarch mixture into the remaining yogurt-ricotta mixture, and blend thoroughly.
• Reduce the heat under the mushrooms to very low. Stir in the yogurt mixture, and cook until the sauce is warmed, but not hot. If it gets hot, it will separate.
• Season with salt and pepper, and spoon over the pasta. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with cheese.

Steps:

• For sauce, heat heavy skillet.
• Saute garlic cloves in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil until coated and beginning to brown (about 1 minute).
• Add mushrooms and sautee until juices begin to emerge.
• Add wine or sherry (more or less depending on how juicy you want it to be) and soy sauce.
• Coat mushrooms and cook for another minute or so.
• Add basil and cook until leaves are slightly wilted.
• Remove garlic cloves.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss cooked noodles with a little bit of olive oil (the amount depends on how juicy your mushroom mix is).
• Transfer to plates and top with mushrooms and grated parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan, along with half the garlic, and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat the tomatoes.
• To the sheet pan, add the mushroom caps in between the tomatoes, gill side up, and drizzle each generously with olive oil. (Don't skimp here, as the olive oil will add lots of rich flavor.) Scatter the mushrooms with the remaining garlic, and season each mushroom with salt and black pepper. Fill each mushroom with marinara sauce, and top with cheese. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly and golden.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the bread crumbs, basil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a bowl or jar.
• To serve, transfer mushrooms to serving plates, along with a few of the roasted cherry tomatoes. Top each mushroom with the basil bread crumbs and scatter with a few basil leaves.
