Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 ounces Egg Pasta (page 444) or 8 oz dried

pappardelle -- cut into 1/2 " wide noodles

2 portobello mushrooms -- (about 1 pound)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion -- finely diced

salt and freshly milled pepper

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1/2 cup dry white or red wine

1/3 cup cream -- (to 1/2 cup or to taste) optional

1/4 cup chopped parsley

2 teaspoons minced rosemary or marjoram

2 tablespoons toasted bread crumbs

freshly grated Parmesan

 

Make the pasta first and set it aside. Start heating a large pot of water for

the pasta. Meanwhile, remove the stems and gills from the portobellos and slice

the caps into 1/2-inch strips. Cut the larger pieces in half.

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onion, and cook over medium heat until

lightly colored. Raise the heat, add the mushrooms, and saute until they begin

to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add half the

garlic. Mix the tomato paste and wine and add it to the mushrooms. Lower the

heat and cook for 5 minutes more. If the pan dried, add a little pasta water.

 

Cook the pasta in the boiling salted water, then drain and add it to the

mushrooms along with the cream, herbs, and remaining garlic. Toss, correct the

seasonings, and divide among warm serving plates. Scatter the bread crumbs and

a very light dusting of freshly grated cheese over each serving.
