How to Make Penne Pasta With Mushroom Clam Sauce And Cheeses
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup chopped onions, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 cup dry white wine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Add 1 pound fresh clams, cover, and cook until they open, about 5-7 minutes (discard any that don't open).
- While clams cook, cook 1 pound penne pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese, and 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
- Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Keep the cheese sauce warm.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked pasta, cheese sauce, clam mixture, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
