This is a quick, wine sauce recipe that looks gourmet but is really simple; saute onions, garlic and mushrooms, add white wine and reduce and stir in some cream and voila, gorgeous sauce for pasta! Of course, adding parmesan is de rigor, regardless if this is a French-style sauce (the wine reduction and all). But the parmesan adds that extra creamy goodness so don't be afraid to add more if you like!
I'll be sending this to Katie at Thyme for Cooking for Presto Pasta Nights. If you want to play too, send your submission by next Thursday to Katie of Thyme for Cooking at thyme2 (at) gmail (dot) com and cc ruth (at) 4everykitchen (dot) com. Check back this coming Friday for the full roundup.
Creamy Mushroom and Wine Sauced Farfalle
1/2 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
10-12 cremini mushrooms, rough chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup white wine (chardonnay, soave)
1/2 cup cream
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated
salt
pepper
1/2 lb farfalle pasta
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until just translucent. Add mushrooms and cook 7-10 minutes until they give up most of their juice and the pan begins to go dry. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and bring to low boil, cooking for 3-5 minutes until wine is reduce by 2/3 thirds. Turn heat down to simmer and add cream and simmer to thicken, 2-3 minutes. Keep on low until pasta is cooked; season with salt and pepper. Cook pasta as directed and drain well. Add to sauce and toss to coat well. Add cheese and parsley and adjust for salt and pepper.

Anything with white wine is wonderful... Of course the cream and Parmesan are pretty good, too. Oh, and they mushrooms :-))
Great dish Kirsten and thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Night. I just started (yet again) South Beach Diet, so I'll have to bookmark this for sometime in the Fall.
Came by for the okra, and noticed this shout out, thanks girl :)
That looks delicious!! I'm looking forward to having something like it when it gets a little cooler here.
(There's something so festive about farfalle, isn't there?)
This has lots of my favorite ingredients: wine, mushrooms, cream, cheese - how could it get better? Quick and easy too.
I came across this months ago and have made it twice, its great! I am a very picky eater but I love this. I thought I lost the site but lucky for me I never delete emails so I found the link in the email I had sent to someone.
