Description

A rich, delicious pasta dish with roasted mushrooms and a boozy cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces, weight Thickly Sliced Mushrooms (baby Portobellos Are Best)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Peeled And Sliced
  • 1 cup Dry White Wine
  • ¾ cups Whiskey (Jack Daniels Is Good)
  • ½ cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces, weight Mostaciolli, Cooked Al Dente

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle mushrooms with a little olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside.

In a large pot, heat additional olive oil along with the butter over medium heat. Throw in the sliced onions and saute for a couple of minutes, or until beginning to turn translucent. Pour in wine and whiskey and allow to bubble for a minute or two. Pour in broth and allow the liquid to reduce for a couple of minutes. Stir in cream and reduce heat to low. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and simmer until sauce thickens.

Toss in cooked pasta, using a little hot pasta water if sauce needs a little thinning. Taste for seasonings and add immediately.

I followed the recipe exactly except for using penne pasta. The highlight of the dish is the roasted portobellas…smelled great roasting and tasted wonderful. I expected much more from the sauce though. It was bland, in my opinion. Next time I might back off on the wine/whiskey/broth and add more cream to make it thicker and creamier. Hubby asked me not to waste good whiskey though, so I’m not sure I’ll make it again.

Had this last night (cut it down to 4 servings) while all the non-mushroom eaters were out. What a delight! I had to buy whiskey – more wine drinkers in this household – so now I’m looking for more recipes to use up some more.

Wonderful. I added london broil that I had cooked and cubed and also added rosemary to the pasta.

This recipe was amazing! A definite keeper. Great main dish. Even the non-mushroom eater was impressed.

This was wonderful. Although we would have been very satisfied with this as our main course we went ahead and had stuffed chicken breast with prosciutto, basil and fontina cheese (a great Weight Watchers dish!). The extra wine went great with this dinner. A Keeper for sure!
