Penne Alla Bolognese Bianco
I first became aware of this recipe while reading a book. while the author gave an outline of ingredients for the sauce, there were no amounts or directions. so - i made it my mission to find a recipe similar to the one i read about. this is what i have created based on several online recipes and what i like. i hope you like it too.
Steps
Pour a very thin coat of olive oil over the bottom of a large saut pan and place over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot , add the onions , carrots , and celery and saut , stirring often , until shiny and crisp-tender , about 4 minutes.
Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper while cooking.
Add the sausage to the pan , breaking apart the crumbles , and brown well.
Pour in the wine and keep at a brisk simmer until the wine has all but evaporated.
Mix together the beef and chicken stock and pour 1 1 / 2 cups into the pan.
Continue to simmer , uncovered , until stock is nearly gone.
Stir occasionally.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and the remaining 1 / 2 cup stock mixture.
Continue simmering another 10 minutes.
Pour over the half & half and fold to mix , then turn off heat and cover.
When the pasta water is at a full boil , add penne and cook until al dente.
When the pasta is almost done , scoop out a half cup of the cooking wat.
