Best Campanelle With Sauteed Mushrooms And Thyme Recipes

CREAMY CAMPANELLE WITH HAM AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute less than the package recommends, 6 to 9 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, oregano, basil, and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Stir in the ham and cook until heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Pour in heavy cream and bring to a boil. Slowly stir in spaghetti sauce and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has reduced a bit. Add cooked pasta to pan (if your saute pan is too small, transfer pasta and mushroom ham blend into the pan you cooked the pasta in). Cook so that sauce thickens a bit more, pasta finishes cooking, and the entire dish has melded together, about 5 minutes more.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS WITH THYME

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add red onion, halved and thinly sliced; cook, stirring often, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add button mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced, dried thyme, coarse salt, and ground pepper. Reduce heat to medium; cover, and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Remove lid; cook until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned, about 2 minutes more. Serve warm, or let cool before refrigerating, covered. Reheat gently on the stove (or in the microwave).

SAUTéED CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Cut the base of the stems of the chanterelles. If the mushrooms are very gritty, rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat them dry. Otherwise, clean them carefully with a soft paint or pastry brush. Cut the large mushrooms into bite-size pieces; leave the smaller ones whole.
• Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add the chanterelles and saute for two to three minutes or until they start to become soft. Add the wine and when it has evaporated, add the chicken stock. Cook over high heat until it has almost evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley, thyme or chives.
