We eat a lot of mushrooms around here. We eat a lot of everything. Eating is good.
And since I’m a good eater, I’m sharing another mushroom recipe. This is a hearty, stick to your ribs, dish. Perfectly suited for those cooler nights. For any night!
Gather your ingredients. I used wheat noodles this time. Sometimes, I use the no-yolk kind.
Strip the thyme off the stems. Chop the shallots. (or like me, spoon them out of the jar) Depending on the size of your mushrooms, either cut them in halves or quarter them. Measure out a cup of the low fat sour cream and cut off 4oz. of the low fat cream cheese. In a large sauté pan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Dump in the shallots and the mushrooms. Cook for roughly 5 to 7 minutes, or until the shallots are clear and the mushrooms tender.
Add the wine ( I used a delicious Pino Grigio) and swirl it around. Using a spatula, scrape up all the little yummy bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the thyme, salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered until the wine has almost cooked off. Give it a stir a couple of times for good measure.
Now, scoot all the mushroom mixture to one side of the pan. Add the sour cream & cream cheese.
Let it soften a bit, then combine it with the mushrooms.
If it seems a little dry, add some hot pasta water. You want it nice and creamy. Plate up some noodles and top with the stroganoff. Eat, enjoy.
