Mushrooms

[julie-in-oz2]

What is your favourite way to prepare them?

I love them for Sunday breakfast with tomato and eggs or in an omelette. Also love them baked in the oven covered with pesto.

Any tips or recipes to share?

I do love mushrooms and I made this recipe recently which I loved.  It will only be an occasional meal because it's heavy on the calories I imagine.  Yummo.  It's a free Coles recipe

Creamy mushroom and spinach tagliatelle

40gms butter

150gms mushrooms sliced (I just used a punnet of Swiss brown button mushrooms)

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 dry white wine

1 cup cream (I used the light cooking cream)

6 sun dried tomatoes, drained, cut into thin strips

150ms baby spinach

packet of egg tagliatelle

Melt the butter in a large frying pan.  Cook the mushrroms and garlic over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until the mushrooms have browned slightly.

Add the wine; simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until reduced.  Stir in the cream.  Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.  Stir in the sun dried tomatoes and spinach.  Simmer for 1 minute.  Season with salt and pepper.

Cook tagliatelle according to packet directions.  Toss with sauce.  Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Sunds very delicious, j*oono. I love mushrooms in lots of different ways, even raw, sliced into salads. Will copy your recipe and try this week.

Thank you, Erica

I hope you like it Erica.  I did.  You might need to adjust the amounts a bit if you are just cooking for two.  Not me. We have big appetites, the lot of us.

what do you do with the remaining 1/2 cup of wine joono?

That sounds lovely joono, your recipes always make my mouth water

[j*oono]

Don't you mean the rest of the bottle, Paintsew? 

By the way.  I left out cup in the ingredients.  You are right, it is 1/2 cup.

Thanks Freddie.  I was hanging on to that recipe for about a year before I tried it.  Very simple too.

I mostly use Swiss browns they are a favourite here.
