A creamy Alfredo sauce with cheese and baby bellas (crimini mushrooms) makes enough for about 1 pound of pasta. Ingredients:
10 cremini mushrooms, trimmed |
1/2 onion, cut into chunks |
4 cloves garlic |
4 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 cup half-and-half |
3/4 cup shredded italian cheese blend |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Process mushrooms, onion, and garlic in a blender until mixture is pureed. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the mushroom paste in the melted butter until smooth.
2. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat; gradually sprinkle flour into the melted butter, stirring continually. Whisk half-and-half into the flour paste; cook and stir until the sauce is thick and smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk mushroom mixture into sauce and cook until sauce has thickened a bit more, about 10 minutes. Stir cheese into the sauce; cook until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
