Best Creamy Pasta Skillet With Baby Bella Mushrooms Recipes

PASTA WITH BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Slice mushrooms, chop up parsley, sage, and garlic. If using thyme, remove leaves from the stalk.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. When pasta is done, reserve 1 cup of water, then drain the pasta. Set the pasta and water aside.
• Warm up a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the Baby Bella mushrooms. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms start to soften.
• Next, add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for another minute or two.
• Add the fresh sage (or thyme) and stir.
• Add the pasta and some of the reserved pasta water if needed. Mix well.
• Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan Cheese and fresh parsley.

MUSHROOM PASTA WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Set the timer for a few minutes less than the package instructions and then taste: the pasta should be just done, still with some firmness. The pasta should also taste salty from the salted water. Drain the pasta and save out 1/2 cup pasta water (you'll likely only need a few tablespoons).
• Clean the mushrooms, then slice them. Thinly slice the onion. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Then mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is cooked out and the mushrooms are tender (taste to assess doneness). Add 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice and increase heat to high. Cook 2 minutes until the edges of mushrooms are golden brown. Taste and add a few more pinches of salt until the flavor pops. Stir in the Italian breadcrumbs or panko and remove the mushrooms to a bowl.
• Mince the garlic. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and garlic just starts to turn golden. Remove from the heat before garlic browns.
• To the skillet with the garlic butter sauce, add the mushrooms, cooked pasta, grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and just enough pasta water until saucy (we used 2 to 3 tablespoons pasta water). Taste again and add a few more pinches of salt if desired. If using, stir in the soft crumbled goat cheese at the end until it makes a creamy sauce. Enjoy warm.

PASTA WITH BABY BELLA MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Dissolve bouillon cube in hot water and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• While pasta is cooking, add olive oil to a medium skillet and adjust heat to medium. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and kosher salt. Cook for 3 minutes. Add wine, increase heat to medium-high, and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, white pepper, and crushed red pepper. Continue to cook until liquid is reduced by about 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss mushroom mixture with cooked pasta. Top with Asiago cheese and serve.
