Cute name for a delicious dish! Mushrooms so happy to be prepared lovingly into such a delicious dish that they DANCE with joy! Wonderful with a fresh green salad, some crusty bread and a glass of white wine. According to one reviewer, they FREEZE well to for OAMC! Ingredients:
1 lb white button mushrooms, wiped clean with a damp cloth |
2 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon rosemary (fresh) |
1 teaspoon basil (fresh) |
1/2 cup green onion, chopped |
2 teaspoons garlic, minced |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon parsley (fresh) |
2/3 cup white wine or 2/3 cup broth |
parmesan cheese, to taste |
salt and pepper |
2 cups pasta, cooked- 1/2 cup cooked per person |
Directions:
1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. When the dry skillet is hot add olive oil and HALF of the butter.
2. Slice the stems off of the mushrooms so that the bottom is flat.
3. When butter has melted add all mushrooms cap down and allow them to cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes so that they caramelize and are nicely browned on the bottom. Shake them around a tiny bit at first to help them not stick but if they do stick do not worry. They will release from the pan when they have properly caramelized.
4. Turn mushrooms over and allow to brown on the stem side in the same manner. Add just a tiny bit more olive oil if needed or spray a bit with some cooking spray to keep calories down.
5. When mushrooms have browned well on both sides add onion and garlic and saute just until the garlic releases its flavor- about one minute. Add the remaining butter, basil, rosemary and parsley and cook for one minute more, stirring constantly.
6. Add lemon juice and wine and reduce heat to simmer (between medium low and low on my stove). Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or mushrooms are done but still firm. Add more wine if needed but try not to let all the liquid evaporate. Salt and pepper to taste.
7. Note: You may wish to reserve a little of the pasta water to add to the sauce if you would like more sauce.
8. Serve mushrooms over cooked and well drained pasta, then generously sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. I like to add a pinch of fresh ground black pepper or pepper flakes to the top as well.
