PASTA WITH NEUFCHÂTEL CHEESE, MUSHROOMS AND BROCCO

Steps:

• Heat large pot of water over high heat for pasta, which you will cook according to product's instructions. Heat large pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Add olive oil & heat until hot, about another 3 minutes. Turn down heat to medium. Add button mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms release their liquid. Season with salt & pepper to your desired taste. (Note: At approximately this time, cook your pasta.) Add chanterelle mushrooms. Add reserved liquid and ¾ c. chicken broth. Mix and simmer ingredients until some of the liquid has evaporated, but mixture is still very moist. Add Neufchâtel cheese and mix well. Once cheese has melted and is well incorporated, add cooked pasta, ¼ c. chicken broth, broccoli, parsley, lemon rind and nutmeg. Mix well and heat through. Test for salt and pepper; add more if needed. The mixture should be moist and creamy. If you feel it is too dry, add some water. Or you can add more reserved mushroom soaking liquid or broth, if you have any remaining. Enjoy!

PASTA WITH MUSHROOMS AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cut broccoli stalks away from crowns and peel stalks. Use a vegetable peeler to shave stalks into thin ribbons. Set aside. Cut crowns into thin slices (about 1/4 inch). Combine with the little flower buds that fall off onto your cutting surface in a bowl.
• Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until lightly colored and beginning to sweat, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add salt to taste, another tablespoon of oil, and shaved broccoli stems. Continue to sauté until the broccoli stem ribbons are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until garlic smells fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat.
• When water in the pasta pot comes to a boil, add salt to taste and spaghetti. Set timer for 2 minutes less than the cooking time suggested on the package. When it goes off, add thinly sliced broccoli crowns and flower buds, and cook 2 minutes more, or until the pasta is al dente. Using a ladle, transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the mushrooms and shaved broccoli stems. Drain the pasta and broccoli and toss with the mushroom and stem mixture, either in a large bowl or right in the pan. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

CREAMY MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a medium saucepan. Fry the onion over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent.
• Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 mins over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 mins. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, reduce the liquid by half.
• Add the double cream and bring to a simmer, then add the lemon zest and parmesan. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Reserve 100ml of the pasta water. Toss the pasta in the pan with the creamy sauce and enough of the reserved water to loosen. Stir through the parsley, divide into bowls and top with extra cheese, if you like.

BAKED CHEESY PASTA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

Spread on a large baking sheet and roast, tossing once or twice, until golden brown and crisped around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Discard rosemary.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for at least a few minutes less than the package directs. (You want the pasta very al dente; it will finish softening in the sauce.) Drain well.
• Turn oven up to 500 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the cream, ricotta, fontina, Parmesan, sage, pepper, garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir in the pasta and mushrooms. Arrange in a shallow 2-quart gratin dish or 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.
