Wild Mushroom Bacon Pasta With Basil Asiago Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, bring salted water to a boil.
• In a large saute pan, over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 1 minute, just until beginning to turn translucent. Add the marjoram and saute 1 more minute. Add the mushrooms and saute until they begin to brown and release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the Mushroom Stock and reduce 5 minutes. Add the cream and reduce about 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and quickly toss with mushroom sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Divide onto serving plates and serve immediately garnished with marjoram sprigs.
• Combine the chicken stock and mushrooms in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Strain.

Steps:

• For sauce, heat heavy skillet.
• Saute garlic cloves in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil until coated and beginning to brown (about 1 minute).
• Add mushrooms and sautee until juices begin to emerge.
• Add wine or sherry (more or less depending on how juicy you want it to be) and soy sauce.
• Coat mushrooms and cook for another minute or so.
• Add basil and cook until leaves are slightly wilted.
• Remove garlic cloves.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss cooked noodles with a little bit of olive oil (the amount depends on how juicy your mushroom mix is).
• Transfer to plates and top with mushrooms and grated parmesan.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken cubes, reducing heat if necessary, until no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups cream to a simmer, stirring often. Whisk in bouillon and cheese until well blended and bouillon has dissolved completely. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water, and whisk into mixture. Cook and stir 2 minutes more, then remove from heat and set aside.
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Stir in prosciutto, garlic, and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Add chicken, reduce heat, and continue cooking until chicken is heated through. Return sauce to the stove and add remaining 1/4 cup cream and parsley flakes. Heat through.
• To serve, place pasta in a large mixing or serving bowl. Add chicken and mushroom mixture and pour in cream sauce. Toss well, and serve.

Steps:

• In a saucepan melt 2 ounces butter.
