Step-by-step photo recipe for cooking pasta with mushrooms:

For this dish, I use a pasta called. This is my favorite type of pasta, but you can use spaghetti or any other type of pasta.

In a large saucepan (at least 5 liters) bring the water to a boil, add 2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Put the pasta in the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom.

Cook the pasta according to the time indicated on the package. I have 3 minutes. Do not cook the pasta longer, even if it seems hard to you. Don't forget that it will combine with the sauce and absorb the extra moisture.

Before throwing the pasta into a colander, pour some water (1 cup), in which it was cooked, is a wonderful starchy broth that you can add to the sauce if necessary.

Drain the water put the pasta in a colander.

Put the pasta back into the pot add 2 tbsp. vegetable oil, stir and forget about it for a while.

Now take care of the sauce for which you need to fry the mushrooms.

Advice: when buying mushrooms, take with a margin. For pasta, you need only 400 grams, and you take a kilogram or even more. Since fresh mushrooms are not stored for a long time, cook them all at once - cut and overcook. Use the necessary part immediately, and cool the remaining fried mushrooms, transfer to a container, close and put in the freezer. There they can be stored for a long time and at the right time they can be added to soup, sauce or cooked with them without defrosting. This saves a lot of time.


Pasta Sauce

Gently clean the mushrooms from soil and debris with a brush, rinse under running water and lay in a colander to dry.

Chop two large onions and mushrooms. In large champignons, it is better to remove the leg.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onion in it.

Add and fry with onions. Stir and watch not to burn.

After 20 minutes, the mushrooms will be ready, salt and pepper them. Add to them dry white wine. It's not necessary, but I always add wine that's specifically kept in the fridge for cooking. Let be wine with mushrooms will boil for 3 minutes. During this time, the alcohol will completely evaporate, leaving only the sourness and aroma.

Now add to the pan cream if needed, salt and pepper. Keep in mind that Parmesan, which contains salt, will also be added to the sauce.

Stir and let the sauce simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

Add dry Italian or Provence herbs, stir, let the sauce simmer for another minute.

Add a tablespoon of grated cheese. Mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Now you need to put the boiled pasta in the sauce.

Mix the pasta with the sauce well so that it is completely covered with it. If the dish seems thick to you, add some of the water that you left when cooking the pasta. Pasta with sauce should boil and you can turn off the fire.

Serve the pasta immediately, and if you need to wait, then it is better not to mix the pasta with the sauce, because. it gets wet and loses elasticity. Separately, both pasta and sauce will keep well in the refrigerator even until the next day. Then you put the pasta on a plate and pour over the sauce, heat it up in the microwave and let everyone stir it.
There are often situations in the home kitchen when you have to warm up yesterday's dinner, so keep the water in which the pasta was cooked in the refrigerator as well. It will be possible to dilute the sauce that has thickened during storage.

Usually served with pasta parmesan cheese, which is rubbed on a grater or cut into thin slices. And you can serve pasta with mushrooms and cream sauce olive oil with white truffle, a few drops of which will give the dish a bright mushroom cheese flavor.

The perfect tasty pasta with mushrooms requires good preparation, which begins with the choice of pasta. If you plan to cook it in a sauce, those that have a kind of “cup” where the sauce can get are ideal. The delights of home at the table will be provided to you. The Italians themselves love in this case fettuccine (wide noodles) and penne (tube-feathers). The former are suitable for options with a minimum of sauce or, for example, with grated cheese in addition to mushrooms. The latter are ideal for gravies.

Five of the fastest pasta recipes with mushrooms:

Regarding mushrooms. It is best to fry them before adding them to the dish. And preferably in olive oil, as they do in Italy. RuNet already has a huge number of recipes for this dish, which everyone cooks in different ways. And not always add the same ingredients. For example, onions or shallots. White mushrooms or champignons. In the historic homeland, the dish is often stewed in white wine with broth. They also put parsley in it. Our housewives love to put garlic. Which needs to be crushed right in the pan so that it conveys all the flavor. The garlic can then be discarded. Mushrooms, if they are traditional champignons, are cut into slices and fried in garlic oil. And stewed in cream if the eaters are not vegetarians.

Any available mushrooms are suitable for the sauce: noble porcini mushroom, chanterelles, and moss mushrooms. You can, of course, take champignons, but with wild mushrooms it will turn out a hundred times tastier. Mushrooms collected in the forest must first be boiled. Mushrooms can be immediately fried with onions.

Cream suitable fat content from 15 to 20%. They thicken well and do not curl, the sauce is tasty and not overly oily. As for the choice of pasta, fettuccine is best combined with a creamy mushroom sauce - they look like long ribbons laid in the form of nests. The surface of the fettuccine is slightly rough, so the sauce literally envelops them, keeps well on the surface. If you can’t find them, then use spaghetti, always good quality, made from durum wheat, they remain dense when cooked.

    Let's start with mushrooms. If you just brought mushrooms from the forest, then sort, clean, rinse, cut the legs and chop into slices (you can leave small specimens whole). Then boil the mushrooms in salted water for about 40-60 minutes, until tender. This time I used a mushroom flywheel. My mushrooms were pre-boiled and frozen, I only had to defrost them for half an hour at room temperature (if there is a lot of ice, then throw it in a colander so that the excess liquid is glass). If you are planning to cook pasta with champignons, then skip this step.

    Immediately put a pot of water to boil the pasta, add salt. While it boils, prepare the sauce in parallel. You will need a large frying pan - choose a wide and deep one to fit both the sauce and the pasta in the future. So, heat the butter in a frying pan and add a spoonful of vegetable oil. Cut the onion into cubes and saute in oil, that is, fry it until soft and transparent.

    Send the mushrooms to the softened onion. Continue to fry everything together for about 15 minutes, over high heat, stirring occasionally. Mushrooms should lose moisture and brown.

    Salt and pepper to taste. Pour in the cream and stir.

    Cook for about 10 more minutes over low heat. Keep in mind that the sauce should thicken but not be too thick. If necessary, pour a little boiled water into it and boil for a couple more minutes.

    In the meantime, the water in the pot for boiling pasta should already boil. Pour spaghetti or fettuccine into it, cook according to the manufacturer's instructions indicated on the package. But keep in mind that pasta does not need to be brought to full readiness - they will “reach” already in a pan with sauce. In my case, it took 7 minutes for the fettuccine to be al dente, that is, a little undercooked. Transfer the pasta to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce.

    Heat everything together for a couple of minutes so that both the pasta and the sauce are “married”. If necessary, you can add a little broth from the pan in which the pasta was cooked, then the dish will be juicier and the sauce more liquid.

    Fettuccine with mushrooms in a creamy sauce is ready! Serve in portions, topped with grated cheese (preferably Parmesan) and freshly ground black pepper. You can garnish with parsley or basil.

In Italy, the word "pasta" refers to all pasta. The term literally means "dough" and can be tubes of different lengths and thicknesses.

The same word refers to a ready-made dish containing, in addition to pasta, also a sauce made according to a special recipe. For its preparation, it is necessary to choose a variety of products made from durum flour.

In Italy, by the way, the use of other varieties is prohibited by law, so it is extremely difficult to meet a true connoisseur of this dish who is overweight.

Mushrooms are a fairly affordable product that is an excellent addition to pasta. They give it a spicy rich taste, slightly increasing the calorie content.

Without forest chanterelles, oil or mushrooms on hand, you can always buy greenhouse champignons or oyster mushrooms. It is enough to eat one plate of such pasta with mushrooms so that the feeling of satiety is preserved for the whole working day.

Usually a creamy or tomato sauce is prepared. To let the dish reach full readiness, it must be hot. Regarding its consistency, there is an unspoken rule: the smaller the pasta, the thicker.
