MUSHROOM-GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook 1 pound sliced assorted mushrooms in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat, stirring, until browned and tender, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until softened, 30 seconds. Add 1 cup heavy cream; bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with 12 ounces cooked fettucine, adding up to 1/4 cup pasta-cooking water to loosen the sauce. Off the heat, stir in 2 ounces crumbled gorgonzola until creamy; season with salt and pepper.

HERBED GORGONZOLA MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position a rack 6 inches below a broiler's heating element, and preheat.
• Heat a large heatproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the mushrooms, tossing briefly, and then cook until browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Toss in the scallions once the mushrooms begin to brown, about 2/3 of the way of cooking. Stir in 1 cup parsley and tarragon.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the mushroom broth and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in gorgonzola and stir gently to combine.
• Reduce heat to medium and pour the eggs into the skillet, stirring gently so that the mushrooms and herbs are evenly distributed. Continue cooking and gently stirring until the eggs begin to set, about 4 minutes.
• Place skillet under the broiler and cook until the frittata is set, about 3 to 4 minutes. Slide frittata out of skillet if desired, sprinkle with remaining tablespoon parsley, and cut into wedges.

PASTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
• In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.

PASTA FRITTATA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a medium skillet, melt butter along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over moderately high heat. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and continue stirring for about 2 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add the spaghetti in tomato sauce, prosciutto or other dried cured ham product, cream and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lightly beaten eggs and toss the mixture until it is evenly distributed. .
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large ovenproof or cast iron skillet until shimmering. Swirl to coat sides and pour in the frittata mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook over moderately high heat until the frittata is barely set on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan over the top.
• Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until it is firm in the center and cooked through.
• Remove from oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the frittata from the sides. Place a large round plate or platter over the top of the pan and flip the skillet and platter. Use oven mitts as the skillet will be hot. Serve it cut into wedges, hot or at room temperature.

PASTA FRITTATA W/MUSHROOMS & GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, scallions, olive oil, sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in large bowl until egg is even yellow color. Stir in Gorgonzola and set aside. 2. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms and 1/8 teaspoon salt, cover, and cook until mushrooms release liquid, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook until liquid evaporates and mushrooms turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer mushrooms to bowl with egg mixture and wipe out skillet. 3. Bring water, pasta, remaining 7 teaspoons vegetable oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to boil in now-empty skillet over high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, water has evaporated, and pasta starts to sizzle in oil, 8 to 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook pasta, swirling pan and scraping under edge of pasta with rubber spatula frequently (do not stir), until bottom turns golden and starts to crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. 4. Using spatula, push some pasta up sides of skillet so entire pan surface is covered with pasta. Pour egg mixture over pasta. Using tongs, lift up loose strands of pasta to allow egg to flow toward pan, being careful not to pull up crispy bottom crust. Cover skillet and continue to cook over medium heat until bottom crust turns golden brown and top of frittata is just set (egg below very top will still be raw), 5 to 8 minutes. Slide frittata onto large plate. Invert frittata onto second large plate and slide it browned side up back into skillet. Tuck edges of frittata into skillet with rubber spatula. Continue to cook second side of frittata until light brown, 2 to 4 minutes longer. 5. Remove skillet from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Using your hand or pan lid, invert frittata onto cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.
