Veal With Mushrooms & Rigatoni

"I came across this recipe years ago during one of my healthier eating phases. It is from "Healthy Cooking For Two (or just you)" by Frances Price, RD. It was so good, after the first time I'd made it I started doubling and then tripling the recipe just so I could have leftovers for work the next day! Usually I serve this with French or Sourdough rolls and sometimes a salad."

  1. I liked that this recipe required very little prep and was easy to make with ingredients that I enjoy and typically have on hand. I had a lot of trouble, however, getting my sauce to thicken up adequately. After 45 minutes in the covered Dutch oven, it was still very watery, but I added the pasta anyway, and followed the directions. When I checked again after 15 mins, it still hadn't thickened. I turned up the heat and cooked awhile longer, but it still did not thicken. DH eventually added a cornstarch slurry, however, this ended up masking some of the marsala and mushroom flavor. I know this is a dish I would really have liked had I been able to get the consistency right. Maybe, in step 4 I should not have reduced the heat to low? Not sure....
     
  2. this was a delicious 1 pot meal. i did use marsala and loved that it all cooked in one pot, less cleanup. i made this for pac '09.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Herndon, VA with the oldest of my 6 sisters. We take turns cooking on a weekly basis. I get many "repeat dinner" requests from my sister and co-workers, though and a lot of them are from here. This is abso-tively, posi-lutely my most favorite recipe site! I enjoy reading and cooking. I also enjoy playing the Lottery- which I know I'm going to win....any day now....As soon as I do I will build and stock my dream gourmet kitchen. Then I'll cook and bake to my heart's (and stomach's) content. I am searching for the "perfect" recipe. I know the research may take a while, but I'm willing to make the necessary sacrifices of time and waistline to achieve my objective. Unfortunately, judging by the size of said waistline, I have become SUCH an over-achiever...... <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
