Recipe: Rigatoni with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

01:00 AM EDT on Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Rigatoni with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

1 pound rigatoni pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 shallots, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound assorted mushrooms (such as cremini, shitake, or button) cleaned and sliced

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup vegetable broth

1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender, 5-7 minutes. Turn the heat to high. Add the wine and cook for 3 minutes, or until all the liquid evaporates. Add the broth and simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced.

Remove the pan from the heat. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until creamy. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water, and transfer to a serving bowl. Add the mushroom mixture and the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat the pasta, adding the reserved water, if needed, to loosen the pasta. Garish with the chopped chives.

Serves 4-6.

A New Steak Recipe

The Vancouver Sun posted a new recipe for Grilled Tuscan Steak from Giada at Home.

Grilled Tuscan Steak With Fried Egg and Goat Cheese

I'm a fan of fried eggs over everything. The runny yolk is like the laziest sauce ever but so good (if you like eggs). Here, some crumbled goat cheese adds more texture and dimension. So simple! It's from Giada At Home by Giada de Laurentiis.

-Mia Stainsby

4 8-ounce rib-eye steaks Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons herbes de Provence

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil

4 large eggs

¼ cup crumbled goat cheese

2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Sprinkle both sides of each steak with the herbes de Provence. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove steaks from the heat and allow to rest.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs directly into the pan and season them with salt and pepper. Cook until the egg whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes.

Place steaks on 4 serving plates. Carefully top each steak with an egg. Sprinkle with the crumbled goat cheese. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

Makes 4 servings.
