Spaghetti with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

Spaghetti with Mushroom Sauce

Homemakers Best Tested
By
The Homemakers Test Kitchen
Finely chopping the mushrooms in a food processor makes for easy work and allows the sauce to stick well to the pasta. Other long pasta, such as linguine or fettuccine, are also appropriate, and, in a pinch, you can use any short pasta.

Ingredients

1 lb  (500 g)  cremini or white mushrooms
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 anchovy fillets, minced
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  black pepper
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  salt
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  dry white wine or vermouth
1 lb  (500 g)  spaghetti
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  butter
Grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Using hands, break mushrooms into large chunks; place in food processor and process until finely chopped.

Set aside. In large shallow saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Add anchovies and pepper; cook until anchovies are dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, parsley and salt; cook, stirring often, until mixture is pasty and almost dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine; boil until liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup/125 mL of the cooking liquid. Stir cooking liquid into mushroom sauce with butter. Spoon over spaghetti. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
