Pasta with Portobello Mushrooms in Mustard Sauce

SERVES 6

30 minutes or fewer

30 minutes or fewer Talk about fusion! This recipe combines Italian pasta and a French-style pan sauce flavored with Japanese mirinall cooked in a Chinese wok. It also proves you can use this implement for just about anything. For best results, choose a short pasta shape that will hold the sauce.
  • ¼ cup pine nuts (1 ¼ oz.)
  • 2 ½ cups small dried pasta shapes, such as orecchiette or gnocchi (9 oz.)
  • 2 ½ Tbs. olive oil
  • 8 oz. portobello mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (4 cups)

  • ½ to 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • ½ cup mirin or dry white wine
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard

This recipe has way too much dijon mustard. The mustard completely overpowered the dish and in my opinion ruined it. I would recommend two teaspoons at the most for the dijon.
