My Sister's Mushroom Sauce for Pasta
1# mushrooms (a mix or all buttons), chopped fairly small
salt and pepper
½ c. red wine
Saute the mushrooms in a little butter and/or olive oil, then add wine and let bubble a minute. Cover (lid and tinfoil) and bake in a 275-300 oven for about one hour.
I added parmesan to the mixture in the pan after it came out of the oven and before I served it over the pasta - letting the parmesan melt and thicken slightly.
Very, very good. I’ve done it twice - first time on spaghetti and the second time on little shells or some such pasta which I think worked a little better. The bits of mushroom can nestle into the shells!
My sister stirs in cream cheese at the end but I’ve not tried this.
About Me
- Mary Lynne
- West Virginia
- When I started my retirement travels in 2009, I wanted a way to share it with family and friends as it was happening. Hence, "My Travel Journal". However I realized I wouldn't always be on a trip and wondered what to do with the blog in between times. My daughter pointed out, wisely, that travels can also include trips to the kitchen to try a new recipe, trips to visit family, trips to my neighborhood Starbucks, or a fun day trip with a friend. You're welcome to join me on any of these journeys! I've set up individual pages for each of my major trips (see tabs above).
Also, I have an Etsy shop where my current needlework resides. The last pieces I posted here were in 2013! So if you'd like to see what I have accomplished recently, go to (and I apologize for having to copy and paste):

I recently added an "Italian Word a Day" thingie which shows up at the bottom of every page. You see the word and can click to hear it pronounced. I've been enjoying it and I think my accent is improving as time goes by.
