herby buttered wild mushroom tagliatelle pasta.

Saturday, March 30, 2019 Edit
I don’t know if it’s a bad thing, but I am in comfort food mode and this herby buttered wild mushroom tagliatelle pasta is about as comforting as it gets.
Although, who am I trying to kid? Aren’t I always in comfort food mode? Even my salads are about as comforting as a salad could be. Sorry not sorry.
With fall creeping in I’m feeling like the comforting recipes are probably a good thing. Going with it…and trust me you’ll want to go with it too, because this pasta is rather life changing. Kind of a bold thing to say, but it’s totally true. Hello to slowly cooked wild mushrooms with butter and all my garden herbs. It’s summer meets fall and I’m loving it.

INGREDIENTS
  • 3/4 pound tagliatelle or other long cut pasta
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese
  • 1/4 cup shaved manchego cheese

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain. 
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes or until golden, stir and continue cooking until the mushrooms are caramelized, 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, garlic, half of the basil, the thyme, and sage. Cook, stirring occasionally until the garlic is caramelized and fragrant, about 5 minutes. 
  • Slowly add the wine and then the lemon juice and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir the pasta into the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until warmed through. Divide among bowls and break the burrata over top each bowl. Top with manchego and herbs for garnish. Serve immediately.
