Spaghetti with Morels and Miso Brown Butter Sauce

butter

C morels

rice

Cracked pepper

C Italian parsley

pecorino

oz pasta

In a medium sized pot, bring salted water to a boil for the pasta and cook spaghetti uncovered until al dente. For extra nuttiness,  toast your pasta first, placing it single layered on a sheet pan in a 375F oven for 15-20 minutes, or nicely browned. Then cook like normal.

In a medium sauté pan, sauté butter on Med Low or LOW heat until golden brown and aromatic and nutty smelling. Add garlic. Saute 1 minute. Add mushrooms. Saute on med low heat until tender, careful not to burn the butter. You may need to turn the heat down to low , and stir often. When the mushrooms are tender, add a splash of rice wine, Mirin, marsala wine or sherry. Let alcohol cook off reducing about 1 min. Add miso water. Cook for another min until reduced and most water is evaporated. Set aside.

You could stop here and spoon this over fish ( halibut, salmon, scallops) or Beef or Chicken.

Drain pasta. Place back in pasta pot. Stir mushrooms and browned butter into the pasta, coating the pasta. If too dry for your taste, and a splash of olive oil. Stir in fresh parsley, plate and serve with a light sprinkling of fresh grated pecorino and cracked pepper.

The cheese will add quite a bit of salt. So when tasting for salt, make sure you taste it with the cheese or it may come out too salty. Because the miso is salty, I actually added no salt besides what was in the pasta water.

This was delicious and allowed for the morels to be the star of the dish! Definitely use more morels if you can! :)

This miso brown butter sauce is so delicious!

A simple elegant recipe for Creamy Polenta with Spring Veggies ( fiddlehead ferns, morel mushrooms and asparagus- or sub others!) and flavorful Gremolata -  flavorful and health,  featuring vibrant spring produce that can be made in under 30 minutes. Vegan &amp; Gluten Free!

Creamy Polenta with Spring Veggies and Gremolata 

water

dry polenta

salt

granulated onion powder

¼ teaspoon pepper

olive oil

morel mushrooms

porcini mushrooms

asparagus

fiddlehead ferns

pea shoots

Other options: cremini mushrooms, spring peas, snow peas, english peas, edamame, green beans

shallot, chopped

sherry wine, white wine

salt and pepper

thyme

Bring water to boil in a medium pot. Season with salt, pepper and spices. Once it&#8217;s boiling gradually whisk in the corn meal, bring to a simmer, cover and turn heat to low. Mix again in 10 minutes. Then cook for another 10 minutes ( 20-25 minutes total). Stir in the olive oil, butter or goat cheese. Turn heat off.

While the polenta is cooking make the Gremolata. Set aside.

Cook the veggies. Cut veggies into bite sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms first, and sauce until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add shallot and other veggies. Season with salt and pepper and stir often. Lower heat and take your time, cook about 5 minutes until al dente, or just fork tender. Give a splash of wine or water, turn heat up to medium to help cook off the wine. Taste, adjust salt, remembering the gremolata will add a lot of flavor, so keep the veggies simple. If you have very thick asparagus, or larger pieces of veggies, you could cover the pan for a few minutes to lightly steam them, being careful not to overcook or you may lose their lovely color. If using pea shoots as the garnish, make a well in the center of the pan and lightly sauté them (keeping them separate).

Assemble 2 bowls or make one large beautiful platter or bowl and serve it from there.

If polenta has thickened too much, reheat it, whisking in a little splash of water, until loose and creamy again. Re-taste for salt. Pour polenta into bowls, top with a mound of the veggies, then top with optional pea shoots. Spoon the flavorful gremolata around the veggies, over the polenta.

Absolutely delicious! The vegan version was full of flavor, will repeat for sure!

Finally delicious vegan recipes thanks to Sylvia.  Made this tonight....so delicious, husband loved it!  The Gremolata really takes this dish to the next level.  Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes!

I think this is my new favorite recipe.  So tasty.

This was absolutely delicious.  So delicious, it was completely worth 3 hours poking around in the muddy woods for morels (which, to be honest, I also loved).  I made the gremolata with parsley and a handful of nettles, to stay with the theme of “wild dinner”, and served the whole thing over a bed of arugula.  I LOVED the whole thing.  (My 8 year old son gives it 4 stars only because as it turns out he’s not a fan of fiddle ferns, but otherwise two thumbs up from him too.  He especially liked the mud.)

Love this recipe! We didn't have access to fiddle head or morel so we re-hydrated shiitake and pan seared snap peas along with shallots and garlic. We also added some charred broccoli with red pepper flakes for a bit of kick.  For the polenta, I would definitely recommend using homemade chicken stock if you can. Offers great health benefits and more flavor! We paired this dish with your miso salmon dish (sub halibut). Delicious!

This was super delicious. As per usual with your recipes. So simple, easy to make the gremolata ahead of time. I used asparagus, mushrooms, and green beans. Didn't know I liked polenta! And very filling. Thanks!

Sorry thumbs down from us, whole family agreed.

This is so delicious! That gremolata makes it! I am making this again for sure!
Thanks Sylvia!

Total winner. It was my first time making polenta 😊 I used asparagus, green beans, mushrooms, and added some edamame too! The gremolata mixed into the creamy polenta is divine!!! I so love your recipes, keep em coming 😊

These incredible morel mushroom recipes will make a mushroom lover out of anyone. They’re super meaty, wonderfully filling, and totally satisfying.
