Pasta With Lemon Sage Mushrooms Recipes

CREAMY LEMON-MUSHROOM PASTA

This is a lovely creamy, but light, pasta dish. The lemon flavor adds a wonderful bright note to the rich sauce and earthy mushrooms. This is a great meatless entrée or side pasta dish - or add some grilled salmon, shrimp, or chicken if you'd like!

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms in the pan, adjusting heat as necessary, until golden brown, tender, and they have released their moisture. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper while cooking. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in lemon zest and juice. Stir to combine. Stir in 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese until combined and melted in. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
Add in the cooked pasta and toss in the sauce. Add in some of the reserved pasta water if needed, a little at a time, to thin the sauce so that it coats and sticks to the pasta without being too thick or sticky. It should be a nice creamy consistency.
Serve pasta with a sprinkling of minced parsley and an additional sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, if desired.

PASTA WITH BUTTER, SAGE AND PARMESAN

Like many simple sauces, this one takes less time to prepare than the pasta itself. Fresh, fragrant sage is my choice of herb here, but substitutions abound. Try parsley, thyme, chervil or other green herbs in its place. Or cook minced shallot or onion in the butter until translucent. You may even toast bread crumbs or chopped nuts in the butter, just until they're lightly browned. In any case, finish the sauce with a sprinkling of Parmesan, which not only adds its distinctive sharpness, but also thickens the mixture even further.

Pasta With Butter, Sage And Parmesan image

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook pasta until it is tender, but not quite done.
Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
When the pasta is just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.
