- 1 pound rigatoni pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 shallots, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound assorted mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, or button), cleaned and sliced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallots and garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high.
- Add the wine and cook for 3 minutes, or until all the liquid evaporates.
- Add the broth and simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until creamy.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water, and transfer to a serving bowl.
- Add the mushroom mixture and the Parmesan.
- Season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat the pasta, adding the reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta.
- Garnish with the chopped chives.
