Mushroom Madness


It is spring and the Fungi keep popping up in the yard and in the farmer's markets around town. I am a lover of all things fungus related: morels, portobella mushrooms, and truffles. Last night my friend Malea and I took a trip to the farmer's market by my office, picked up two crops that are in their prime right now: portobella mushrooms and asparagus. I am also super excited, I bought a cherokee purple tomato plant - my favorite heirloom ever!!!

Portobella Mushroom Cream Sauce

- Saute Garlic in olive oil, add pinch of red pepper flakes, and pinch of fresh rosemary

- chop up to portobella caps and add to saute pan, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes

- simmer until portobella reduces in size and become s super moist, add a splash of water or white wine

- take about 3/4s of this mixture pure with a bit of cream

- add pureed portion back to pan and add frozen baby peas

- Add slabs of butter and wisk in cream

- add chopped up spinach and simmer until wilted.

Serve over homemade pasta and top with grated parmesean cheese

YUM!!
