But I like to learn to cook my own things, because The Todd does not like shrimps, cheese, mushrooms, and eggs, and thus he does not cook these things.
So a couple of day s ago, I kind of went mushroom-crazy. :-|
My dish is loosely based on this Cooking Light recipe: Bucatini with Mushrooms. However, I don't use the dried porcini mushrooms or the bucatini noodles, so I sort of do my own thing with this, LOL. I also didn't have heavy whipping cream, so I just used half and half. And I hate sage, so no sage either. I told you this recipe was heavily adapted, ha ha.
So here are some in-process photos.
Upper-left: them are my mushrooms! I bought standard button mushrooms, some cremini mushrooms, and some big shiitake mushrooms.
Upper-right: I sliced all my mushrooms and sauteed them in my pan with the shallots, garlic, and a little pat of butter.
Lower-left: the mushrooms shrink down some as they get cooked. I cooked them for 5-6 minutes.
Lower-right: My finished mushroom pasta dish, with some parmesan cheese and fresh-cracked black pepper on top.
It was super-delicious! But I overdid the mushrooms a little bit. Note to self: buy a little less mushrooms next time. I made this Monday night and I got a couple of leftover portions that I got to enjoy for lunch yesterday and today! I'm a big proponent of cooking enough for leftovers for lunch the next day. It is healthier and more economical than getting a takeout Taco Bell lunch at work. Not that I don't love Taco Bell, but that's just something that I can't eat everyday and expect to keep my figure, ha ha. So Taco Bell occasionally, home-cooked leftover lunch most of the time. :)
Looks delicous, Christine, even without the sage.
ReplyDeleteNow that's some serious mushrooms! It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI guess Todd wouldn't be interested in a two egg omelette with shrimp, cheese and mushrooms, huh? :D
I won't share what my sister calls Taco Bell. Let's just say, it doesn't agree with her and she feels like -something that rhymes with bell- after she eats their food.
You know, with your recipe changes, it's almost like a ListGirl original. I think I'd rename it and call my own if I were you...because really, who like sage with their mushrooms? ;)
Have a nice Thursday.
Yum Yum Yum. I love mushrooms and your dish looks amazing. I'm going to have to try this one.
