A delicious dish with orecchiette pasta, sausage and mushrooms. Recipe from Family Circle. Ingredients:
1 lb orecchiette |
1 lb hot italian sausage, casings removed |
1 (10 ounce) package white mushrooms or 1 (10 ounce) package brown button mushrooms, sliced |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 cups loosely packed basil leaves, torn up |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook pasta as package directs.
2. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
3. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until no longer pink.
4. If necessary, break large pieces apart with a wooden spoon.
5. Add mushrooms and cook an additional 5 minutes.
6. Pour in wine, reserved pasta water and black pepper.
7. Stir in basil.
8. Remove from heat; toss with pasta and cheese.
9. Note: For perfect pasta every time, for 1 pound of dried pasta, bring at least 6 quarts of salted water to a boil.
10. Add all of the pasta.
11. With wooden spoon, stir once or twice to prevent sticking.
12. Check at suggested time; if cooked properly, there will be no white inside.
