Mushroom Marsala Pappardelle image

A vegetarian 30 Minute Meal Rachael Ray recipe (from her Feb 2009 magazine) placed here for safe keeping. This is supposed to be a main course, however it could be served as a side dish to meat/fish. NOTE: I made this dish as Rachael wrote it and it proved to be quite bland and soupy. . .that being said, I revised the recipe below to make it fabulous. Try it!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

salt and pepper
1 lb pappardelle pasta (may substitute fettuccine pasta)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 lbs cremini mushrooms, sliced (I used a mix of different mushrooms)
4 garlic cloves, grated
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 cup marsala wine
1 cup vegetable broth (may sub chicken broth)
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon all purpose Greek seasoning (may sub Italian Seasoning)
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley (optional)
4 tablespoons grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 cups fresh Baby Spinach, coarsely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain.
  • While the pasta is working, in a large, deep skillet, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until everything is softened, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the marsala and cook until nearly absorbed completely by the mushrooms, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth; remove a little of the broth and mix it with the corn starch until creamy. Add the corn starch mixture. Once the sauce starts to thicken, add in the cream and spices; add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the butter until melted, add the parsley (if using) and toss.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Top with the cheese and spinach (if using).
