Mushroom ragu pasta
Full disclosure: this is Chris Morocco's recipe that he made for Bon Appetit, with a few adjustments. First, I replaced the maitake mushrooms that he used with criminis. My local supermarkets don't carry maitakes, and with the price of gas being what it is, I wasn't about to drive 20 km to get them. Also, I didn't use funky double-grooved pasta tubes, and boiled plain ol' linguine instead. I also used sour cream instead of heavy cream, mainly because I shopped from memory and remembered it incorrectly. And I didn't read the recipe beforehand, so I completely guessed on ingredient quantities. Other than those changes, it's his recipe exactly. Carbon copies, right? Kidding aside, the dish turned out really, really good. Shades of vodka sauce, but a little brighter and with mushrooms, of course. Thanks Chris!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add a good glug of olive oil to a large pan on medium-high heat and throw in the onion. Let fry until they're really soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and continue frying until the tomato darkens and dries a little, about another 3 or 4 minutes.
- 2
Add the mushrooms, a good pinch of salt, and several grinds of black pepper to the pan. Stir to combine, then cook about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Stir in the sour cream and butter and turn the heat down to low. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as required.
- 3
Boil the linguine in a large pot of salted water. When the pasta is about 1 minute away from cooked, transfer it to the pan of sauce. Be sure to take a little pasta water doing so (and don't throw away the rest because you'll need it). Turn the pan back up to medium and toss to combine. Use the extra pasta water you reserved to adjust the consistency. I actually ended up needing more than I thought; about 2/3 of a cup. Once it looks right, serve.

Classic Ragù with Pasta Classic Ragù with Pasta
A traditional beef flavored ragù that gets its tomato base from only the paste. Adding tomatoes is not necessary, since you’re flavoring the meat with tomato, not flavoring a tomato sauce with meat. Adding 1 cup of finely chopped zucchini (optional) to the "soffritto" gives this sauce a balance of more vegetables to the meat.

Mushroom Cream Pasta Mushroom Cream Pasta
I wondered if I could make a simple cream sauce without using heavy cream.Please use whatever pasta and mushrooms you like. Adding some bacon is also delicious. When boiling the pasta the ratio of water to salt is very important, so I recommend calculating it even though it's troublesome. This is just a suggestion, but aim for 1 tablespoon of salt for every 20 g. Recipe by Okakichi -

Mushroom Cream Pasta Mushroom Cream Pasta
This is something you can use on those days when you want to make an easy and delicious pasta without relying on store-bought products.Use salad onions or new harvest sweet onions. If you use regular onions, soak the slices in water first. It's good even without the truffle flavor, but if you have the oil on hand, it's really good. If you use heavy cream with a high fat percentage, the dish will turn out even richer! Recipe by Sanipan -

Braised Pork Ragù w/ Mushrooms & Tagliatelle Braised Pork Ragù w/ Mushrooms & Tagliatelle
Ragù or ragoût - does it really matter if it tastes good?One is Italian and the other is French. Both are stew-like and saucy, and both usually involve some form of meat. This one has pork and dances over thick, tender tagliatelle (or it’s wider sibling, papardelle). So we'll go with the Italian: ragù. This is a very modern take on ragù al cinghiale - a hearty wild boar dish that you can find on most menus in Italian hill country between Florence and Rome. We are using pork shoulder in the form of “country style ribs” (which are not ribs at all) and mushrooms and fish sauce to make up for the strong flavor of boar - all balanced by a healthy dose of citrus, basil, and sweet peppers. This dish is teaming with umami flavor and rests nicely on a chewy, wide noodle.
