Use the season's first wild mushrooms in this satisfying vegetarian pasta. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 large red onions, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices (about 6 cups) |
1 pound assorted wild mushrooms (such as small portobello, oyster, chanterelle, and stemmed shiitake), cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices (about 10 cups) |
2 large red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick strips (about 4 cups) |
1 pound rigatoni |
3 teaspoons marjoram, divided |
1 1/2 cups grated fontina cheese (about 6 ounces), divided |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add onions and cook until soft and beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add peppers and sauté until just soft, about 5 minutes longer.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
3. Add reserved pasta cooking liquid and 2 teaspoons marjoram to skillet and stir, scraping up browned bits. Add drained pasta to sauce and toss to coat. Add 1 cup cheese; stir until melted. Transfer pasta to large bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and 1 teaspoon marjoram.
