  • Ingredients

    • 1 box (12 oz) Carbe Diem!™ Rotini
    • 1/4 cup salted butter
    • 1 large shallot, chopped
    • 12 ounces mixed wild mushrooms, such as shiitake, chanterelles, or maitake, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup white wine
    • 1 cup vegetable broth
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • Steps

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add rotini to pot and cook until al dente, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain.
    2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for 5 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
    3. Add wine to skillet and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add broth and cream and simmer until you have a silky sauce, 5 to 10 minutes.
    4. Add rotini to skillet with mushrooms and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
    5. To serve, divide pasta between serving bowls and top with more freshly ground pepper, and a sprinkle of herbs.
