Pasta With Mushroom Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and chop mushrooms (I buy the presliced ones and just cut the big pieces in half).
• Heat oil in a skillet, add scallions and mushrooms and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Slowly stir in milk and tomatoes and cook until it makes a smooth sauce.
• Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.
• Cook the pasta and drain.
• Toss pasta and sauce.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes; cool. Transfer to freezer bags or containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. , To use frozen sauce: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Heat and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan. Lower to medium heat and add the chopped onion. Saute until it starts to brown, 5-10 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
• Add the wine to deglaze the pan, making sure to scrape up all the browned onion and garlic. Cook on medium-high heat until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, mushrooms, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the mushrooms in a bowl or a pyrex measuring cup and cover with hot water. Let soak 15 to 30 minutes, until thoroughly soft. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Drain the mushrooms and squeeze them over the strainer. Then rinse in several changes of water and chop coarsely. Measure out 1/4 cup of the mushroom soaking liquid.
• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Heat the olive oil in a large, wide, heavy nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add the onion or shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir together for minute, until fragrant, then add the mushrooms and stir together for a minute or two, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and their juice, the mushroom soaking liquid you set aside, the thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and turn up the heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick and fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a generous amount of pepper, taste and adjust seasonings. Keep warm.
• When the pasta water comes to a boil, add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta. Cook al dente, following the timing directions on the package but checking a minute or two before the time on the package. Remove 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and stir it into the mushroom sauce. When the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, remove another 1/2 cup water, drain the pasta and toss with the sauce in the frying pan if possible. If you wish to thin out the sauce or moisten the pasta further, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water or more of the mushroom soaking liquid. Serve hot; pass the Parmesan at the table.
