Thick ragu sauces like this one are best mates with
pappardelle pasta — the flat, wide strands coil and curl easily around a fork,
catching all the juices and chunky bits of sauce. Yum!
Portobellos became all the rage in the 1990s, when mushroom
growers realized the potential in allowing white button mushrooms to mature a
few extra days.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- Kosher salt

- 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- A hunk of Parmigiano Reggiano or parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Put the oil. shallots and a pinch of salt in a large skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are softened, but not browned.
