MUSHROOM RAGù PASTA



Mushroom Ragù Pasta image

Rich and earthy, this creamy pasta feels appropriate for date night, but comes together quickly enough for a weeknight. The process is simple, but the details do matter here: Use a thin pasta, like spaghettini or angel hair, so that it cooks in the same amount of time it takes the stock and cream to reduce to a sauce. Also pay close attention during the last few minutes of cooking the pasta to ensure you're stirring enough and adding enough water to create a silky sauce. Porcini mushroom powder, which is optional, adds depth, and can be made at home by pulverizing store-bought dried mushrooms in a spice grinder (see Tip). Offset the richness of the dish with a classic green salad, shaved fennel, or some mustardy bitter greens.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons dried porcini mushroom powder, optional (see Tip)
4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds mixed fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake and cremini, finely chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
3 shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Black pepper
1/3 cup port or marsala wine
1 pound spaghettini or angel hair pasta

Steps:

  • Add the stock, heavy cream, porcini mushroom powder (if using), 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves and 2 teaspoons salt to a large pot. Bring to a boil over high.
  • While the liquid comes to a boil, heat the oil over medium-high in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet. Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic and 2 teaspoons thyme leaves. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and tender, about 12 minutes. Add the port, and stir until the alcohol cooks off and the mixture is almost dry, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling cream mixture, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently with tongs, until the pasta is al dente and absorbs most of the liquid, and the sauce is silky, 6 to 7 minutes. (Stir constantly during the last couple minutes to ensure the pasta cooks evenly. Add a splash of water if needed to keep the mixture glossy.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the pasta to bowls, top with the mushroom mixture and the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, and serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons dried porcini mushrooms
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small carrot, diced
1/2 celery stalk, diced
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 cups crushed canned tomatoes with juice (about one 28-ounce can)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 pound assorted mushrooms, such as cremini, shittake, button, and portobello, trimmed and cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
Serving suggestion: pasta like penne or fusilli, polenta, or with toasted bread.

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, soak the dried mushrooms in 1/4 cup of hot water for 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the soaking liquid and coarsely chop. Strain and reserve the liquid.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, and shallots, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

When the foam begins to subside, add the mushrooms. Lower the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and season with pepper to taste. Add the mushrooms to the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve as is, or with pasta, polenta, or toasted bread.
