Linguine with Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms & Garlic Basil Alfredo Directions
- Steam Brussels sprouts about 6-8 minutes or until tender. Set aside. Cook pasta al dente, about 8-10 minutes. In a skillet, heat oil over medium and sauté mushrooms, garlic, and red peppers and basil (if using dried) 3-4 minutes or until tender. Set aside. Over medium heat melt butter in a heavy saucepan, whisk in flour and cook until just bubbly. Slowly whisk in cream and white wine. Continue briskly whisking about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and salt stirring until all the cheese is melted. Do not allow to boil or cook. Remove from heat; fresh basil can be added at the last minute. Layer linguine, Brussels sprouts and mushroom sauté mixture on a platter. Pour Parmesan basil mixture over top. Lightly toss with tongs to incorporate. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
