Take-out Tuesday, Mushroom Magic Pasta

0

Okay, so what’s so magic about this pasta?

 

 

 

First of all, you make it with a no boil, “ready” pasta

 

 

 

 

It comes fully cooked in the package and all it requires is a quick 60 seconds in the microwave

 

 

 

 

It is coated with a lightened up version of Alfredo sauce which basically makes itself right in the pan

 

 

 

 

First, saute the mushrooms in a little olive oil and butter until they are golden and juices are released

 

 

 

 

Now, here’s where the magic happens…

 

 

 

 

Add the ricotta cheese and milk, and season everything with salt and pepper

 

 

 

 

Stir and simmer and watch the sauce magically thicken and reduce

 

 

 

 

Add the microwave ready pasta to thickened sauce and stir

 

 

 

 

This Gemilli pasta was perfect because it has lots of grooves to hold onto the sauce

 

 

 

 

Give it a sprinkle of Parmesan or Italian Blend cheeses and serve it up

 

 

 

 

I served with with an easy side of roasted broccoli, Broccoli Candy
