Linguine With Exotic Mushrooms Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU



Linguine With Exotic Mushrooms
6 oz Linguine, uncooked
4 oz Button mushrooms
4 oz Wild mushrooms
-(shiitake, cremini
-or oyster)
1 tbsp Butter or margarine
2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup Low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup Skim milk
Salt
Freshly ground pepper


Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is
cooking, wipe all the mushrooms clean with a paper towel. Trim the
stem end from the mushrooms. (Remove all of the stems if you are
using shiitakes.) Slice mushrooms 1/4-inch thick.

Melt the butter or margarine over low heat in a large skillet with a
tight-fitting lid. Add mushrooms and parsley, cover skillet and let
mushrooms cook until they are completely tender and have released
their liquid, about 15 minutes. Check the mushrooms once or twice
during cooking to make sure they are not browning.

Whisk the sour cream and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Just
before draining the pasta, mix 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water
into the sour cream mixture.

Drain the pasta and transfer it to the skillet. Add the sour cream
mixture and heat to boiling. Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil
together one minute, tossing pasta to coat with sauce and to evenly
distribute mushrooms. Divide pasta between two plates, spooning extra
sauce on top. Serve immediately.

Dieting tips

If you really want to get in shape and improve your overall healthiness, then, as any doctor will tell you, you need to start a carefully prepared sensible meal plan. At best, this needs to incorporate 5 portions of fruit & veg daily and also include the optimum blend of carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.

When devising a diet, it is important to also attempt to cut back on your ingestion of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When selecting food, dieters often focus on chain store and big brand products described as 'low fat'. To do this is far too often wrong, insofar as a food product might be lowered in fat content, but whilst still being far too high in calories and carbs.

Keep yourself hydrated. Every now and then at some stage in a normal day, you consider that you feel hunger when in actuality you may need a cold cup of water or juice. The feelings of being hungry and being thirsty are quite similar, albeit one of them results in bad health and the other does not.

As an alternative to concentrating on the many types of food you ought to ban from your daily routine, focus on the "good" foods that you are able to bring into your dietary regime. If you can bring in some beneficial fruit & veg into your dietary regime, you will find that you feel more satisfied and have a much lower probability of being tempted by those damaging mid-day sweets and chocolate bars.
