Pasta With Zucchini In A Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- 1/2 pound farfalle pasta (or pasta of your choice), cooked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 ounce dried crimini mushrooms, soaked in 1/2 cup of hot water
- 2 zucchinis, cut into 1/2 inch slices, then quartered
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 3 tablespoons sherry
- 1 cup half-and-half (you can use heavy cream here for a richer flavor)
- Few dashes nutmeg
- Saute zucchini and button mushrooms in one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until cooked through. Combine with pasta and set aside.
- In another pan, heat the other tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the sherry and cook until mostly reduced, about three minutes at medium heat.
- Add one tablespoon cornstarch and blend well. Then add the crimini mushrooms with liquid and the half-and-half. Simmer until thickened.
- Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Mix with the pasta and vegetables and serve.
