Pasta with Mushrooms and Kielbasa
Description
Pasta with Mushrooms and Kielbasa features fettuccine cooked al dente and combined with sautéed onions, baby bella mushrooms, and spiced kielbasa. The onion softens first, providing a subtle sweetness that complements the robust sausage and mushrooms. A heavy cream base enriched with fresh dill ties the ingredients together, while seasoning with salt adjusts the balance. Reheating briefly on the stove thickens the sauce, ensuring it clings nicely to the pasta.
The dish offers a comforting texture contrast between the firm pasta strands and tender mushrooms, punctuated by flavorful, sliced kielbasa pieces. Freshly grated Parmesan added as a garnish introduces a nutty, salty note enhancing this rich meal.
This pasta works well as a fulfilling main course and pairs nicely with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. Adjusting seasoning to taste before serving helps tailor the savoriness to personal preference.
Ingredients
- 8 oz Fettuccine pasta or pasta of your choice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup onion minced
- 2 cups baby bella mushroom
- 1 cup kielbasa sausage chopped
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ⅛ cup dill chopped
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Meanwhile, sauté the onion in a large, non-stick skillet for about 4-5 minutes, until tender.
- Add mushrooms and kielbasa to the onions and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through.
- Add heavy cream, pasta, dill, and some salt. Mix, then taste if there is enough seasoning. Return the dish to the stove and cook for several more minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Rinse pasta with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking before combining with the sauce.
