Directions
*NOTE: This is the whispy stuff at the top of the stem. I don't know what
the proper term for it is so I just call it the whispy stuff. **NOTE: The
original recipe used the Parmesan cheese to put on top when the pasta is
plated and served. I omitted it completely.
Chop the onions. In a large skillet, melt 1/2 tsp low fat margarine in
1/2 tsp olive oil. Add the onions, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar and cook over
moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are well browned, 18 -
25 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl.
Meanwhile, stem 2 Portobello mushrooms. Halve the caps and slice them
crosswise 1/4" thick. In the same skillet, melt 1 tsp low fat margarine in
1/2 tsp olive oil. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 tsp salt and cook over
moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 5
minutes. Add another 1/2 tsp lowfat margarine (if needed) and 1/2 tsp
olive oil (if needed) the thinly sliced fennel and cook for an additional 3
~ 4 minutes. Add the reserved onions, chopped fresh parsley and fennel.
Season with salt and pepper.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente,
about 13 minutes; reserve 1 C of the pasta water and drain the ziti.
In a large bowl, toss the ziti with 1/4 - 1/2 C of the pasta water, the
mushroom mixture, feta, Parmesan cheese. If the pasta seems dry, add more
of the pasta water. Serve immediately, passing additional grated Parmesan
(optional) at the table.
I adjusted the original recipe a lot!! I think my version is incredibly
good.
