Pasta with Wild Mushroom Sauce Time: 20 minutes plus however
long it takes to cook the pasta
A simple sauce, but using fresh, autumnal wild mushrooms elevates this to something for the most discriminating gourmet. It's also good with regular button or cremini mushrooms.
3/4 cup uncooked pasta - fusilli, penne, something bite-size
1 tbs olive oil
3 - 4 oz wild mushrooms 1 cup finely chopped
1 onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp paprika
1/3 cup beef stock
1 tbs tomato paste
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
Finely chop onion, garlic and mushroom. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add paprika and sauté briefly. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and sauté until everything is well- cooked, another 7 - 8 minutes. Add stock and tomato paste, stir well. Simmer, uncovered until sauce is thickened. Add drained pasta, toss well to combine and serve.
