_Spaghetti with Mushrooms,
Garlic, and Parsley

serves: 6 servings
Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.

1 pound spaghetti

Stir the spaghetti into the boiling water. Return to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until done, about 8 minutes.

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1½ pounds assorted mushrooms, cleaned and sliced 1/4-inch (about 6 cups)
freshly ground black pepper
8 fresh sage leaves, chopped

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scatter the garlic over the oil and cook, shaking the pan, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add as many of the mushrooms that will fit comfortably into the skillet. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss in the sage. Add the remaining mushrooms as the mushrooms in the skillet wilt and make room. Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until the mushrooms are sizzling and brown, about 10 minutes. (If the mushrooms have given off a lot of water during cooking, you'll have to wait for that liquid to boil off before the mushrooms begin to brown.)

1 cup vegetable stock, or pasta cooking water
¼ cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated

Add the stock to the browned mushrooms, bring to a boil and lower the heat so the sauce is at a lively simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.

If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and pasta, drain and drop it directly into sauce in the skillet. If not, drain the pasta, return it to the pot and pour in the sauce. Toss in the parsley; bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring gently to coat the pasta with sauce. Check the seasoning, adding salt and pepper if necessary. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the cheese and serve immediately in warm bowls.

Garlic Fettuccine Alfredo

Garnish with fresh parsley and
grated Parmesan cheese.
Recipe Yield: 8 servings

· 1 1/2 cups nonfat evaporated milk
· 1 medium size bulb of garlic, or 12 cloves
·   2 tablespoons lowfat cream cheese
·   1/2 cup nonfat milk
·   1 teaspoon cornstarch
·   1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
·   1 pound dry fettuccine pasta

1. Combine 1 1/2 cup evaporated milk and garlic cloves in a pan, heat and simmer until garlic is soft (about 15-20 minutes). Milk will reduce a little.
2. In a blender, puree milk and garlic mixture with cream cheese until smooth.
3. Return mixture to pan and add 1/2 cup nonfat milk and cornstarch. Heat to simmer. Sauce will thicken slightly. Add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Toss sauce with cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper and serve with parsley sprinkled on top. Serve remaining Parmesan cheese separately.

Roasted Garlic Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.
3. Place the garlic heads in a baking pan; muffin pans work well for this purpose. Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed.
4. Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Use a small small knife cut the skin slightly around each clove. Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

Eat as is (I love straight roasted garlic) or mash with a fork and use for cooking. Can be spread over warm French bread, mixed with sour cream for a topping for baked potatoes, or mixed in with Parmesan and pasta.
