Gorgonzola Mushroom Ragout

 
Gorgonzola Mushroom Ragout

adapted from a recipe by Judy Campbell


This is a rich, elegant dish that is surprisingly quick and easy to prepare.


  1. 2 links mild Italian sausage, casings removed

  2. 1 TBS butter

  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced

  4. 4 cups mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned and chopped or sliced appropriately

  5. ⅓ cup of Stonewall Kitchen Mushroom Sage Steak Sauce

  6. ¼ cup Gorgonzola or Stilton blue cheese, crumbled

  7. ¼ cup heavy cream or sour cream

  8. salt & pepper to taste

  9. 8 oz/225 gr papparadelle

  10. scant bit of oil to toss with pasta

  11. fresh parsley, julienne red bell pepper, or cranberries for garnish


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente.  Drain when done and toss with oil.


Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks.  When browned, remove to a plate and drain off all but a tablespoon of the fat.  Add the tablespoon of butter, reduce heat to medium, and sauté the garlic for one minute.  Add the mushrooms to the pan and continue to sauté for 3 to 5 minutes.  Return the sausage to the pan.  Stir in Mushroom Sage sauce, cheese, cream or sour cream and heat to warm through.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.


Toss the pasta in the pan with the sauce and transfer to serving plates or a platter.  Garnish and serve.


Serves 2-3 as an entree or 4-6 alongside beef or pork tenderloin. 


Pair with Chardonnay.
