This recipe is from Quick Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin. I have made this a million times and never get tired of it. This is a simple recipe where the result is more than the sum of its parts. I suggest using good quality tomatoes, it really does make a difference here. Don't worry about the red pepper, it's not a spicy dish.
Ingredients:
1 lb fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces sliced mushrooms
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook the fettucine according to package directions.
2. Drain thoroughly.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
4. Add mushrooms and saute until they brown and juices start to evaporate, about 7 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Add tomatoes and wine and boil 2 minutes, stirring often.
7. Add the cream and salt and boil 1 minute.
8. Toss with fettucine and Parmesan and serve immediately.
