Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 3 oz butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped oyster mushrooms or shitake
  • 1/2 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup diced white onion
  • 2 cups shredded kale
  • 1 cup small of diced butternut squash
  • 2 oz White wine
  • 2 cups 35% cream
  • 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 6 cups cooked bowtie pasta
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds

 

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan (big enough for all ingredients) heat butter.
  • Cook onions, garlic, and diced squash on medium heat until onions are soft and starting to brown.
  • Add mushrooms and cook on medium for about 5 min.
  • Add white wine and stir. The wine should clean the bottom of the pan up and incorporate all that goodness.
  • Add kale, cream, cheese salt, and pepper. Cook till cheese is melted and kale is wilted slightly. (Approx 3 min)
  • Add pre-cooked noodles and toss together. Cook for another 3 min on medium to re-heat noodles.
  • Serve and top with toasted almonds and chopped green onions.
