Ingredients:

1      package (~ 6 oz) sliced shitake mushrooms pre-washed
1      tablespoon butter
1      can reduced-sodium cream of mushroom condensed soup
1/2  cup white wine
1/4  cup sherry (we used Dry Sack Medium)
1      teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 1/4 teaspoon dry crushed rosemary), finely chopped
1/2   package egg noodles, yolk-free
        coarse salt, to taste, for pasta water
1/2   red Portuguese pepper, seeds removed (or any mild red pepper), chopped
        ground black pepper, to taste
        hot Hungarian paprika, to taste
1      tablespoon parsley, chopped

Directions:

  • Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Be sure to add some salt to the water before cooking.
  • Sauté the mushrooms over medium-high heat in a deep sauté pan until some of the moisture is removed.
  • Add the butter and sauté another minute or two. Add the cream of mushroom soup, rosemary, white wine and sherry. Cook at medium low heat for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the mushroom mixture; then add the Portuguese pepper, black pepper, and paprika. Continue to cook on medium low heat for a couple of minutes until spices are absorbed.
  • Plate and top with the parsley.
     

Recommended wine: “Rodney Strong” Merlot vintage 2000
