This savory mushroom pasta dish is easy and satisfying. Portobellos and baby bellas are sautéed with EVOO, garlic, shallots and a touch of crushed red pepper flakes, before being deglazed with balsamic vinegar.
Pangritata, otherwise known as ‘poor man’s parmesan’, was developed in the Italian old country to sub in for parmesan or pecorino romano~when the season or the wallet prevented folks from having the coveted cheese on hand. The result is textural, with nice pops of salt and herb, a lovely topping for a hearty pasta dish.
