Inspired by the new movie Julie and Julia I made a little cream sauce to put over ravioli. It was great and I am posting the recipe here now for your cooking and eating pleasure!
2/3 lb of good sausage (I used a slightly spicy creole sausage)
1 med onion (chopped up)
2 big portobello mushrooms (chopped up)
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup cream
6 cloves of garlic (I left them hole and ate them, but I love garlic, you may want to chop them)
1/4 cup of fresh grated Parmesan
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp white pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
Italian parsley to garnish
In a large skillet cook sausage. Remove and cut into pieces. Melt butter and olive oil together in skillet and saute mushrooms, garlic and onions. Add sausage back to skillet and season with peppers and salt. Add white wine and reduce to 1/2 volume. Add cream and cheese and simmer for an additional 2 minutes until sauce has thickened. Server over pasta, I used a cheese ravioli. I will add a pic soon.
Changes I am gong to try: I am going to sub out the Parmesan cheese for a local cheese, Cougar Gold, from the WSU creamery. I am also going to remove the garlic after it has sauteed and crush it and then add it back in.
