Author Notes: You just go for this kind of thing, you know? You just say, oh, a whole cup of heavy cream? And some butter? AND cheese? Yeah ok, I can do that, I can dig that, I can whip that up and inhale that and then dream about it later. No Regrets Pasta. —Kendra Vaculin
Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
8
ounces (half a box) pasta — I used those lil’ spiraly ones because I like those, but fettuccini would give this a stroganoff vibe
-
8
ounces portobello mushrooms, chopped
-
2
tablespoons butter
-
2
cloves garlic, minced
-
1/3
cup white wine
-
1
cup heavy cream
-
1/2
cup vegetable broth
-
1
tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
salt and pepper
-
parmesan cheese, for serving
Directions
- Prepare pasta according to the box. You know how to make pasta. You’re very smart.
- Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large pan. Add mushrooms and garlic and sauté for about 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the ‘shrooms to cook down until they’re browned and fragrant.
- Add the wine, cream, veggie broth, and balsamic and bring it all to a boil. Let boil for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Season it to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour sauce and ‘shrooms over pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan to serve, and then gobble.
