- 2 whole Shallots, Sliced
- 1/2 cups White Wine
- 1 tub Low-fat Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Low Fat Sour Cream
- 1 sprig Fresh Thyme
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt, Or To Taste
- Noodles
- Use whatever kind of noodles you want.
- Whole wheat egg noodles.
- Or gluten-free egg noodles.
- Or, I suppose, just regular ol egg noodles!
- Whatever you choose, make sure they are cooked and ready for this sauce!
- !
- Now what?
- Well...
- Start with the portobello mushrooms.
- Turn them so the stem is up, and gently pull off the stem.
- Toss it.
- Next, the brown skin on the top of the mushroom can be gently peeled off.
- Please do this too.
- Cut up the mushroom.
- Aim for mouth-sized pieces.
- Put these to the side.
- Have your shallots ready.
- Put a sauce pan on the stove on medium-high heat.
- Warm the butter up until its foamy.
- Add shallots; cook until tender.
- Add the mushrooms.
- Cook.
- You will notice that the mushrooms soak up all the tasty butter.
- This is when you need to add that wine!!!
- And then stand nice and close and breathe in one of my favourite smells.
- Mmm.
- Ok. Now you can add the thyme and black pepper.
- Cook down the wine until the pan is almost dry.
- Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan, making a little well.
- Into the well, put the cream cheese and sour cream.
- Stir it up, getting it nice and warm.
- Once soft and melty, stir in the mushrooms.
- Cook this and make it all hot and bubbly.
- However, dont boil it.
- Never a good idea.
- Ok, so hopefully by now youve tasted it and decided whether or not it needs more salt.
- Once its adjusted accordingly, toss it on some of that pasta youve cooked, and EAT EAT EAT!!!
- And then I really expect you to tell me how good this is.
- Good news: it reheats very well.
