Meaty mushrooms are enhanced by sweet caramelized onions and just enough tangy melted goat cheese in this delicious year-round pasta.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 onions
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 lb. portobello mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
  • 3/4 lb. ziti
  • 3 oz. soft goat cheese
  • 3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter with 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are well browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan.
  2. In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and brown, about 8 minutes. Add the reserved onions, the parsley, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper.
  3. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the ziti until just done, about 13 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta water and drain. Toss the ziti and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water with the mushroom mixture, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the goat cheese, and the Parmesan. If the pasta seems dry, add more of the reserved pasta water. Serve with additional Parmesan.
  4. Wine Recommendation: While the mushrooms need a red wine, the goat cheese goes best with a wine that has plenty of acidity. A pinot noir from Oregon is an ideal choice for both.
