Triple Mushroom Truffle Penne

with Garlicky Panko & Parmesan

Treat yourself to truffles with tonight’s ‘shroom-packed pasta. You’ll start with penne, which you’ll cook until tender, then toss in a silky, savory sauce of sautéed button mushrooms, garlic powder, mushroom stock, cream cheese, and Parmesan. A swirl of butter and dusting of truffle zest take the rich and umami flavors to the next level. Garnish everything with crunchy, garlicky panko, then pour yourself a glass of wine and toast to a restaurant-worthy dinner.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

    Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato.

  2. 2

    Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko; cook, stirring, until golden and toasted, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later). Cook until just fragrant, 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.

  3. 3

    Add penne to pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain.

  4. 4

    While pasta cooks, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.

  5. 5

    Stir scallion whites, remaining garlic powder, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) into pan with mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

    Stir in stock concentrate, cream cheese, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), and 1⁄3 cup water (½ cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until combined and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.

    Stir in tomato, another 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), and truffle zest to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Stir drained penne into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated, adding water a splash at a time until sauce reaches a creamy consistency.

    Divide between bowls; top with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle with as much garlicky panko as you like and serve.
