These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Farfalle with Creamy Wild Mushroom Sauce

If you love mushrooms as much as Jim and I do, you've got to try this! As usual, we'd need to add some chicken to make it for dinner, but it was excellent as a special lunch!

The exotic mushroom blend, a combination of shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms, is sold in eight-ounce packages. If unavailable, you can use all cremini mushrooms.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 1/4 cups)
Ingredients
* 1 pound uncooked farfalle (bow tie pasta)
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 12 ounces presliced exotic mushroom blend
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/4 cup dry white wine
* 2/3 cup whipping cream
* 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
* Minced fresh parsley (optional)
Preparation
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, shallots, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper; cook 12 minutes or until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally. Add wine; cook 2 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Add the cooked pasta, whipping cream, cheese, and 2 tablespoons parsley, tossing gently to coat. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Garnish with minced fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
