Ingredients




2 cloves of garlic
2 medium carrots, peeled
½ medium onion
10 white mushrooms
½ pound mixed wild mushrooms
2 teaspoons dried thyme
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups water
1 cup beef stock + ¼ cup
8 ounces rigatoni noodles, (2 cups)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
Chopped fresh parsley
Extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

1 Using a food processor, add the garlic and process until minced, then add carrots and mushrooms and process until finely chopped. Add onion, and pulse until roughly chopped. 2 Heat a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Heat olive oil and then add the mixed wild mushrooms. Sautéed until soft then set aside in a covered dish. 3 Add the chopped vegetables, thyme, salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir often, until the vegetables start to soften and the mushrooms release their juices, 5 to 7 minutes. 4 In the meantime combine water, broth, and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Add pasta, cover, and cook until the pasta is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. 5 Whisk flour with the remaining ¼ cup broth in a small bowl until smooth; stir into the mushroom mixture. Stir in the sour cream and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. 6 Mix with the pasta and serve sprinkled with sautéed wild mushrooms and parsley.
