Capellini ai Funghi e Caviale {Angel Hair w/Mushrooms & Caviar} + GIVEAWAY !
It’s almost Mother’s Day! Yes, that’s right, honey are you listening ; ) For me, it’s a day when all I really want is peace & quiet in the house {Miss Priss, Middle Man & Bruiser you listening} & for someone else to cook for me. And if there happens to be a little something extra well then that’s just icing on the cake! Okay maybe a nice bottle of wine too ; )
And just in time for Mother’s Day, I was recently sent a complimentary review copy of “The Silver Spoon PASTA“. It’s about yes you guessed it ; ) PASTA! Hundreds of perfect pasta recipes! Everything from dried pasta to fresh pastas. Short pastas to long pastas. Cut pasta to filled pastas. Lots of PASTA! So much so you’ll never get bored. After flipping through this massive book & drooling all over it, I chose to make what I call a special occasion dish. I picked Spaghetti with Mushrooms and Caviar! Yes, caviar! It doesn’t get more special occasion that that! I did use Angel Hair Nests instead of Spaghetti because I thought it would make a fancy schmany presentation but feel free to use Spaghetti. For the mushrooms, I used a combination of Shitake, Oyster, Crimini & Portobellos for an extra special touch. I think it’s the perfect dish for Mother’s Day & one that would knock the socks off any Mom!
Here’s the recipe…
Adapted from “The Silver Spoon PASTA”
What you’ll need:
1 lb of angel hair pasta
2 sprigs fresh flat leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves – minced
2 tbsp extra virgin NUDO olive oil
5 2/3 cups mushrooms – chopped
1 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp caviar or lumpfish roe
1 tbsp tomato paste
What to do:
Chop the parsley & garlic, set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add all mushrooms, and HALF of the garlic & parsley and cook over low heat for approx 20 mins. Stirring constantly & gradually add the wine. Add the reserved parsley & garlic & caviar into a small bowl & set aside.
WHILE the mushrooms are cooking, place a large pot of water on to boil. Lightly salt (caviar is quite salty so not too much) Add pasta when boiling and cook until al dente. Approx 2 mins prior to the pasta being ready, add the tomato paste so that the pasta becomes slightly pink.
When pasta is al dente, drain and place into your serving dish. Pour the mushroom sauce over and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the parsley, caviar mixture and serve immediately!
Buon Appetito!

Psst…Nudo is an amazing company where you can also adopt an olive tree in ITALY & receive the olive oil from your tree. How cool is that? You’ll get updates, and information on the actual farmers themselves. Something I know I would LOVE, or a trip to the actual grove. Either one ; ) You don’t have to adopt you can also just purchase their fantastic oils. You can read all about Nudo and place orders HERE

If my mother were still with me, I’d make her favorite breakfast of soft-scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and big fluffy biscuits with blackberry jam. It was a Sunday morning tradition for us. I’d make breakfast, then we’d sit and watch her local church service on television.
I think I would make her some Cuban food. Maybe Ropa Veija. Yum. and of course a chocolaty dessert!

I’d actually consider making the pasta/mushroom/caviar recipe – YUM! But truthfully, if I could be with Mom on Mother’s Day – she lives in another state – I’d make her her favorite dessert, which is rice pudding. But not just any rice pudding, I’d use the same recipe her Mama used to make for her when she was a child. It’s a family recipe, and she loves, loves, loves it. For dinner, we’d probably go out, because she wouldn’t want anyone else to have clean up the kitchen. I love my Mom!
Okie Dokie, twitter is done!
I liked you all along, but now it’s official…on Facebook!

Homemade mac and cheese with cheez-its on top. She’s an amazing cook but can never manage homemade mac and cheese…I figure I need to provide her with some.

We’re taking her out to eat but I want to make her white chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate icing…she loves white chocolate.
I’d make her some sort of egg dish, preferably something with smoked salmon. Great giveaway!

Gorgeous pasta dish – the caviar sends it to a new level. I don’t cook on Mother’s Day – but bring me some shrimp to top my pasta and I’m a happy camper!
My mom loves sweets so I’d make her some of her favorite deserts like these: http://con-tain-it.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/04/yummy-in-my-tummy-cuckoo-cookies.html
