Spaghetti creamy sauce: recipe
Mushroom processing
Fresh oyster mushrooms or other fleshy mushrooms must be rinsed in cool water, removed from them all unnecessary garbage and wormholes (if any), and then chop on thin plates or small cubes.
Vegetable processing
Spaghetti in a creamy sauce can be made using different ingredients. However, from vegetables we will take only 2 large onions. They should be rinsed, peeled, and then cut into thin rings or quarters.
Creamy Gravy Cooking
Fatty 30% cream should be poured into a deep bowl and add 2 full cups of thick sour cream to them. Mix both dairy ingredients with a hand whisk or blender. Then, to the mass, pour wheat flour and beat again.
Heat treatment:
Before making spaghetti in a creamy sauce, it is necessary to fry the chopped mushrooms in a pan along with onions. Also, the products should be flavored with sunflower oil, a mixture of fragrant peppers, table salt, grated walnuts and sugar. The ingredients need to be fried over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, and then pour them with cream and cream sauce and add hard cheese. After that, the contents of the pan must be brought to a boil and removed from the heat.
When the creamy gravy is ready, you should start boiling the spaghetti. For this, the semi-finished product must be put in boiling water, salt and cook for no more than 5 - 10 minutes. Then the spaghetti needs to be thrown into a colander, rinsed, scalded with boiling water and seasoned with butter to avoid sticking.
Proper serving
Spaghetti in a creamy sauce should be served hot to guests. To do this, boiled pasta must be carefully laid out in a portioned plate, and then pour them with sour cream and gravy with meaty mushrooms. It is also recommended to serve fresh vegetables, salad greens, parsley and dill for the dish.
