Dancing Pasta

Jeff has named this dish the "dancing pasta" because everytime I make it he gets so excited he dances around. Its very simple and I am guessing on the quantities of the ingredients because I have never measured everything out, I usually do it to taste. So bear with me and you can adjust your's to taste as well.

Ingredients:

8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms (you can use whatever kind you choose)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tbspn olive oil (or any cooking oil)
2 cups white wine (chardonnay or sauvignon blanc work best-- nothing sweet)
1 cup cream
1 roma tomato chopped
1 small package of fresh basil- torn
2 cups of parmesan cheese (I love parmesan and probably add more than the average person)
10 oz of cooked penne pasta
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Saute mushrooms and garlic in oil for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat
2. Add wine and let simmer for another 5 minutes
3. Add cream, tomatoes, basil
4. Add salt and pepper to taste
5. Toss with pasta and parmesan cheese

This is a very simple recipe that I serve with chicken. Another variation of it is to use red bell pepper instead of mushrooms for a little spicier dish. This may be good for you, Becky, since Brendan hates mushrooms!
