How to Make Ziti With Portabella Mushrooms And Goat Cheese Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Remove stems from 1 pound portabella mushrooms. Cut caps in half and slice crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.
  3. Heat 4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sauté for 20 minutes.
  5. Add 2 shallots, minced. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and 4 scallions, thinly sliced. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from pan and set aside.
  8. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add the sliced portabella mushrooms and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
  9. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  10. Stir in the reserved onion mixture. Cook over low heat until the pasta is prepared.
  11. Cook 1 pound ziti in 6 quarts of boiling water with 1 teaspoon salt according to package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse in cool water, and drain again.
  12. Toss the cooked ziti with the mushroom mixture.
  13. **Prepare Goat Cheese Sauce:** Pour 1 cup heavy cream into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until reduced by one-third.
  14. Remove from heat and stir in 8 ounces goat cheese until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  15. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Place the ziti mixture in a large oven-safe baking dish. Pour the goat cheese sauce evenly over the ziti.
