Ziti with Mushroom, Fennel, and Tomato Ragu

Credit: Ziti with Mushroom, Fennel, and Tomato Ragu

Ziti with Mushroom, Fennel, and Tomato Ragu Recipe

Think your Ragu has to filled with ground beef? Think again. While traditionally a meat sauce, we’ve developed flavors and textures in this sauce with multiple varieties of mushrooms. Serve a loaf of warm bread to sop up all the saucy goodness of this pasta dish. Use a Parmesan rind in your Ragu, soups, and stews to subtly infuse the dish with the flavors of the cheese. If the rind doesn’t dissolve during the cooking process, you can remove it from the mixture, as instructed in this recipe, or break it up with a fork into small, chewy pieces. While any pasta shape will work with this hearty vegetarian dish, we prefer penne or ziti; these noodles help capture every last bite of the chunky sauce.

Mostly Mushroom Pasta

Credit: Jennifer Causey

Mostly Mushroom Pasta Recipe

If you’re a mushroom-lover, this is the pasta dish for you. It’s chock-full of three kinds of fresh mushrooms (2 pounds of them) that contribute their own flavors and textures—meaty, hearty portobello; super savory, tender shiitake; and earthy, chewy cremini. We cook them in stages so the tougher mushrooms cook longer and the more delicate shiitakes cook less so they hold their shape. The touch of crème fraîche in the sauce gives the dish a stroganoff-like flavor; substitute full-fat sour cream if you can’t find it.

Mushroom and Asparagus Grain Bowl

Credit: Greg DuPree

Mushroom and Asparagus Grain Bowl Recipe

Grain bowls are so popular for good reason. They're the perfect solution for a fast weeknight meal. This vegetarian spring grain bowl has all the elements: pleasantly chewy farro, tender-crisp spring asparagus and fennel, and a big punch of flavor from lemon and Parmesan. Serve warm on a cool night or make it ahead and dish it up cold the next day. Look for precooked, ready-to-heat farro near other shelf-stable prepared grains. To make your own farro: Cook 1 cup dry farro in a pot of boiling water until just tender; drain well. For a little extra protein, top this dish with shredded rotisserie chicken.

Mushroom and Pork Meatballs with Broccolini Rice

Credit: Caitlin Bensel

Mushroom and Pork Meatballs with Broccolini Rice Recipe

Instead of roasting a whole pork tenderloin or slicing and searing, try giving it a coarse chop in the food processor for incredibly rich and tender meatballs. Because the pork is so lean, the meatballs cook in just 8 minutes. Broccolini, a cousin of broccoli, have long stalks and small buds; they'll add plenty of texture to the rice mixture once sautéed and chopped. Sriracha can be found in any grocery store and is worth keeping in your pantry. The chile kick and vinegar tang can perk up tacos, noodle soups, and stir-fries.

Pan-Seared Strip Steak with Mushrooms, Asparagus, and Vanilla-Cabernet Butter

Credit: Greg Dupree; Food Styling: Karen Rankin; Prop Styling: Kashara Johnson

Pan-Seared Strip Steak with Mushrooms, Asparagus, and Vanilla-Cabernet Butter Recipe

This single-skillet supper may sound highbrow (and look the part too), but trust us, it’s about as simple as it gets. Perfectly pan searing a succulent cut of steak is one of those essential kitchen skills that every home cook needs  in order to whip up an impressive, company-worth meal on the fly or simply to treat yo’self at the end of an exceptionally long day. Topping your seared New York strip steak with a decadent compound butter is another back-pocket trick that is simple to do, but reads incredibly sophisticated/delicious. For this steak skillet, we opted to infuse our butter with vanilla bean and red wine—vanilla brings out the robust flavors of the ruby port and Cabernet, both of which partner beautifully with a tender New York strip. A vegetable medley of  mushrooms, asparagus, and shallots quickly sautéed in the flavorful pan drippings makes the perfect side dish to round out this plate, balancing your rich steak and butter sauce. Make this dish once, and we can almost guarantee that butter-basted seared steak + a quick, same-skillet veggie sauté will become a dinner game plan you’ll come back to again and again. Note: You will definitely have leftover compound butter… which is not a bad thing. The butter freezes beautifully and is excellent to have on hand for flavoring veggies, spreading over warm bread, and topping other cooked meats. If you have leftover steak, it makes for one heck of a next-day steak sandwich—especially if you dress toasted bread with a generous smear of your compound butter. If you want to apply this same easy and elegant meal strategy to a slightly more budget-friendly cut of beef, try our Hanger Steak with Brussels Sprouts, Potatoes, and Lemon-Herb Butter. And you can find more helpful technique tips for achieving a perfect sear on your steaks right here.

One-Pan Portabella Mushroom Shepherd's Pie Recipe

Leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes make it easy to whip up shepherd's pie on a weeknight. This vegetarian version is as hearty as the beefy original, thanks to meaty portabella mushrooms, but you could throw in leftover turkey if you want.

Wine pairing: Joseph Jewell 2014 Pinot Noir (Humboldt County; $32).

Pork Tenderloin with Mushrooms, Fennel, and Blue Cheese Recipe

This gorgeous main uses just one skillet--first to sear and roast the pork, then to caramelize the fennel and mushrooms. Arugula isn't only for salads; it wilts nicely when sautéed in the pan juices from the pork tenderloin.

Chicken-and-Mushroom Dumplings with Bok Choy Recipe

We keep these dumplings weeknight-doable by using easy-to-find wonton wrappers (look for them near the tofu) and the simplest folding method. To make this a communal meal, set out the steamer baskets on a towel so your family can help themselves. If your bok choy is larger than what we call for, cut it into quarters so it will fit in the baskets.

Mixed Mushrooms with Fish Sauce Recipe

"When creating a side dish, I like the sauce to have a good punch, especially if it's accompanied by something that could stand on its own," says Chris Clime. To make this dish even more flavorful, you can leave the cooked mushrooms in their juices overnight to continue marinating. When you're ready to serve, heat them in a dry, hot skillet and cook until they start to get slightly golden brown and crispy.

Kale and Mushroom Frittata

Credit: Jennifer Causey

Kale and Mushroom Frittata Recipe

Half the pleasure of a frittata is just saying it. Go ahead. Free-tah-tah. For molto fun, say it Italian-style: Stress the first syllable and roll the r. Fr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ee-tah-tah. Brava, bella. A cast-iron or carbon-steel pan is best here because it goes under the broiler, and high heat could damage nonstick skillets. Handy advice: If you set out to make an omelet but your pan won’t release the eggs and they stick to the bottom, just spread out the fillings, pop it under the broiler, and presto! Frittata. You can easily make this dish for 2 or 4 people using a larger pan and multiplying ingredients accordingly.

Use a stainless steel pan instead of a nonstick here, if possible. A stainless surface will better collect fond (also known as browned bits) from the pork, which is then deglazed to lend rich flavor to the mushrooms and onions as they cook.
