Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 This was tonight's dinner. The recipe came from a small book called The Asparagus Festival Cookbook. Most of the recipes came from the Asparagus Festival in Stockton, CA. This was pretty good. I didn't use as many olives as they asked for and I cut down on the Italian seasoning because I thought 1 tbsp was too much and they also asked for 1 tbsp salt and I cut it to 1 tsp. I used white wine instead of marsala. This was good and a bit chunky. I love chunky sauces but my DH doesn't. Oh well. Here is the recipe, with my adaptation: * Exported from MasterCook * Stockton Asparagus Festival Pasta Recipe By : Adapted from The Asparagus Festival Cookbook Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Main Dishes, Vegetarian Mushrooms Pasta Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup fresh mushrooms -- sliced 1/2 cup green onions -- chopped 4 cloves garlic -- minced 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup sliced olives 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes -- drained 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/2 cup white wine 3/4 cup vegetable broth cornstarch -- mixed with water 1 lb fusilli pasta -- cooked & drained romano cheese -- grated Over high heat, saute the mushrooms, green onions and garlic in the oil until tender.
