Mon Jan 26 12:08:08 -0800 2009 21396 normalheightsfoodie 1 4359286 I haven't done a sauce that used portobellos but i have used other mushrooms, such as a wild mix, porcini, and even black summer truffle, and it all uses basically the same ingredients. I start with cooking a bit of garlic really slowly in some olive oil, but I don't let it brown. Then I saute the mushrooms in the oil and add some thyme or parsley. If you would like you can deglaze with some red wine or my sister loves to add some heavy cream. I also always reserve some pasta water to help lengthen the sauce a bit. Otherwise, you can do what my grandmother does to. When she is making a meat sauce for pasta, she will add in any mushrooms that she has around. It adds another layer and a nice earthiness to the sauce. Mon Jan 26 12:53:52 -0800 2009 4359093 51490 icey 2 4359293 Thanks, I will try that!
