Maitake Mushroom Alfredo Pasta
5 - FarmOne - Mushrooms, Main
Ingredients
½ pound pasta of choice (I use porcini trumpets)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
12 ounces maitake mushrooms
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons diced shallots
1 cup dry white wine
¾ cups crème fraîche
¼ cup grated Parmesan, plus additional for serving
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
½ teaspoon chopped thyme leaves
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and return to the pot.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add two tablespoons of the olive oil and heat through. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 3 minutes (working in batches if you have to so you don’t overcrowd the pan). Remove to a bowl and set aside.
Return the pan to medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and heat through. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are tender, about 3 minutes.
Add the wine and let reduce by about half, about 4 minutes.
Whisk in the crème fraîche until combined. Stir in the Parmesan followed by the parsley and thyme then season with salt and pepper.
Add the sauce and the mushrooms to the pasta and stir to combine. Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese.
