Drescription

Sliced Brussels sprouts and mushrooms cook quickly and cling to the pasta in our fall version of pasta primavera. Look for presliced mushrooms to cut prep time. Serve with a tossed salad.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces whole-wheat fettuccine
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups sliced mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster and/or shiitake
  • 4 cups thinly sliced brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry (see note), or 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 2 cups low-fat milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 cup finely shredded asiago cheese, plus more for garnish

Directions

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sherry (or vinegar), scraping up any brown bits; bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until almost evaporated, 10 seconds (if using vinegar) or about 1 minute (if using sherry).
  3. Whisk milk and flour in a bowl; add to the skillet with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in Asiago until melted. Add the sauce to the pasta; gently toss. Serve with more cheese, if desired.
