Basic Pasta




Prepare pasta.

Saute shallots for ragù in 1 T. olive oil in large saute pan over medium heat. Add 1 T. more oil, increase heat to high, and saute mushrooms in batches until browned. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil to pan, and saute remaining mushrooms. Return all mushrooms back to the pan.

Deglaze with sherry and simmer until liquid evaporates.

Add tomatoes, balsamic, and paste. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, 15 minutes.

Finish ragù by stirring in mascarpone, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Toss ragù with cooked and drained fettuccine to coat.





Saute mushrooms in batches so they don't steam in their juices.
To finish ragù, stir in the mascarpone, herbs, salt, and pepper.
