Rumor has it, this is Pierce Brosnan's favorite penne. It comes from one of Pierce's favorite restaurants, II Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in California. It has become a Watson favorite with a few of our personal changes. The recipe calls for porcini mushrooms, since I can't find them here, I use fresh portobello mushrooms. This is so simple, but so.... good. Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil |
4 portabella mushrooms (sliced thin-original recipe calls for porcini mushrooms) |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
1/3 cup italian parsley (chopped) |
salt & fresh ground pepper |
2/3 cup white wine |
2 cups tomatoes (chopped) |
2 cups penne pasta (dry) |
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese (more for passing) |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in large skillet over med high heat; saute' sliced mushrooms with garlic and parsley.
2. Add wine and let simmer until wine begins to evaporate ( about 5 min.), add tomatoes and cook another 8-10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile boil penne until al dente', drain; Add to sauce, let cook about 2 minutes.
4. Taste for seasoning; add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste; right before serving add parmiginao cheese; toss to blend together.
5. Place on serving dishes, and offer extra parmigiano cheese as desired.
