LINDA'S ZITI

Hi everyone.  Today I have a recipe that I made for dinner last night.  I call it Linda's Ziti because I got it from my sister Linda.  It is so decadent and so yummy.  Make it for your family or company.  Everyone will just about lick their plates on this one!

LINDA'S ZITI

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of sugar
6 onions chopped
6 tablespoons of Italian flat leaf parsley chopped
8 oz goat cheese crumbles
3 or more tablespoons of Romano or Parmesan cheese (or more if you like)
2 lbs of Portobello mushrooms, stems removed caps halved and sliced 1/4" thick
1-1/2 lbs Ziti
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Add the onions, salt and sugar.  cook over medium heat stirring frequently.  Cook until onions are well browned.  Transfer to a bowl.
In the same skillet melt the remaining butter and 1 tablespoon of oil.  Add the mushrooms and salt.  cook over medium heat until tender.

To the mushrooms and the onions add parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Cook the Ziti just until al dente.  Drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.

Toss the Ziti in a large bowl with the pasta water.  Add the mushroom mixture,  goat cheese and Romano and 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Serve immediately.  Serve 8.....Yummy!
