ingredients
- 1 lb linguine or 1 lb fettuccine pasta, boiled and drained
- 1⁄2 cup cooking water, reserved
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 4 medium shallots, quartered
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 lb shiitake mushroom caps, only, sliced
- 1 lb portabella mushroom, stems and caps, sliced
- 1 cup dry sherry
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 sprig fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 t dry)
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves, only (or 1 t dry)
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 cup soymilk
directions
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. In a food processor, finely grind the garlic. Ad the onion and shallots and grind coarsely. Add the ground mixture to the hot oil, and saute until translucent. Add the sugar and saute one more minute, until the mixture caramelizes. Add all the mushrooms and saute until most liquids evaporate. Add the sherry, salt and pepper, tarragon and thyme, and cook 5 more minutes.
- Whisk the tapioca flour with the milk in a little bowl until smooth, and add to the skillet. Cook 2-3 more minutes. Add the boiled pasta and heat the whole dish through. If necessary, thin with some of the reserved noodle cooking water (wheat and buckwheat noodles will absorb more liquid than rice noodles). Serve hot.

I am a full-time graduate student and I also work full-time, which means that I am not likely to make labor-intensive, time-consuming recipes very often! I also struggle with anorexia, and so most of the recipes I create or try are low-calorie and fat-free. I do love to bake, though, and I'm able to do that for others right now, which is nice.
I also keep kosher; that, combined with the fact that I don't really eat meat or cheese, means that most of my recipes (or recipes that I try) are non-dairy and vegetarian, or can be easily adapted to suit that.
Kitchen gadgets are a horrible weakness of mine ... it is just so much fun to try out crazy new products that sometimes I can't help myself! Limited kitchen storage space has managed to sort of curtail that little habit.
