Jewish World Review Portobellos add a hearty flavor to pasta with pesto By Linda Gassenheimer http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | (MCT) Pesto is an uncooked sauce made with fresh basil, parsley, olive oil and Parmesan cheese. It originated in Genoa, Italy. Saute some meaty portobello mushrooms and add them to the pesto to complete this flavorful pasta dish in the time it takes to boil pasta. I accompanied the dish with Roasted Pepper Salad. Roasting red peppers intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky taste. Making your own are great, but not on my schedule for a weekday meal. I find that canned or jarred roasted peppers work will with this salad. This meal contains 592 calories per serving with 25 percent of calories from fat. SHOPPING LIST To buy: 1/4 pound portobello mushrooms, 1 bunch fresh basil, 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, 1 small package washed, Italian-style salad, 1 small package pine nuts, 1 8-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), 1 small can or jar roasted red peppers and 1/2 pound fresh linguine. STAPLES Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and black peppercorns HELPFUL HINTS: If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the herbs and garlic by hand, and stir them together with the other pesto ingredients Any type of washed lettuce can be used for the salad base COUNTDOWN: • Put water for pasta on to boil • Make Mushroom Pesto Pasta MUSHROOM PESTO PASTA 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided use 1/4 pound portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced (2 cups) 1/2 medium onion, sliced (1 cup) 1 cup fresh basil leaves, washed and dried 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, washed and dried 2 medium garlic cloves, crushed 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons water 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon pine nuts 1/2 pound fresh linguine Salt and freshly ground black pepper Bring 3 to 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
