Pasta With Mushrooms Dill And Creme Fraiche Recipes

PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS, DILL, AND CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until slightly less than al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender and browning in spots, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in horseradish, pasta, and 1/2 cup pasta water; cook, stirring and shaking pan until pasta is cooked and sauce begins to coat pasta, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in creme fraiche and chopped dill; continue stirring and shaking pan, adding more pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce. Serve, garnished with more creme fraiche, dill sprigs, and pepper.

CREAMY MUSHROOM & SPINACH PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and mushrooms for 10 mins, or until softened and browned slightly. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions.
• Add the garlic to the pan with the mushrooms and cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the crème fraîche and parmesan, stir to combine, then add the baby spinach. Set aside.
• Remove the pasta from the heat and drain, reserving 25ml of the water. Toss the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce, put back on the heat and cook over a low heat until the spinach wilts, about 5 mins. Pour in enough of the reserved water to loosen slightly. Season with black pepper and finish with a sprinkle of chilli flakes, if you like.
