I adopted this recipe after Shelly left the site. Although she has been under the influence of South Beach, this girl knows good carbs. Shelly's original comments: This is also from a Frugal Gourmet cookbook. Delicious and simple. Cooking time includes the 2 hours to reconstitute the dried mushrooms.
Ingredients:
2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in water for 2 hours, drained and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon tomato paste
salt and pepper
1 lb dry pasta, cooked according to package directions (i like penne or fettucini)
parmesan cheese, for topping
Directions:
1. Saute mushrooms, onion and garlic in olive oil in large frying pan for a few minutes.
2. Add cream, tomato paste and salt and pepper.
3. Simmer for a few minutes.
4. Toss with pasta.
5. Garnish with parmesan.
