Three varieties of mushrooms sauteed with garlic and olive oil blend beautifully with nutty pesto, milk and cream cheese to make a sumptuous sauce with delightful earthy tones to toss with hot fettuccini.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 1 pound crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
- 1 large portobello mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves crushed garlic
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 12 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
PREPARATION:
Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, saute mushrooms and garlic in olive oil over low heat until tender. Mix in pesto mix, milk, and cream cheese; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, and simmer while stirring until cream cheese has melted and mixture has thickened.
Drain pasta. Pour sauce over noodles, and toss to coat. Serve.
