SAUTEED BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Mix cut-up broccoli and cauliflower, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let stand an hour, if possible.
• Heat oil in a large saute or fry pan until very hot.
• Add vegetables all at once, spreading in an even layer. Do not stir until bottom of layer begins to brown.
• Flip and stir to get unbrowned pieces to bottom. Let cook until beginning to brown.
• The trick here is to keep heat high and brown pieces without overcooking or burning them. If pieces are browned, but not soft enough for your taste, turn off heat and cover pan for a few minutes.

FETTUCCINE NO-FREDO WITH BROCCOLI AND SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Sauce: Using the lesser amounts of each seasoning, place all the sauce ingredients except nutritional yeast into a large saucepan and cook, covered, until the cauliflower is very soft, about 15 minutes. When it's completely tender, use a blender to puree the cauliflower to a smooth sauce. (If you have a good hand blender, I recommend you do this in the pot.) Check the seasoning of the sauce, and add more to taste; add the nutritional yeast. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken while you prepare the mushrooms and pasta. Sautéed Mushrooms: Heat a non-stick skillet brushed or sprayed with a little olive oil. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms begin to exude their juices. You can prevent them from drying out by keeping the skillet covered between stirrings. When the mushrooms get juicy, add the wine and salt to taste. Cook just until the wine is absorbed and then set aside, covered, until ready to serve. Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the fettuccine and salt, if desired, and set a timer for 3 minutes less than the amount of time indicated on the package. When the timer goes off, add the broccoli and cook for three minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. (For my fettuccine, this meant I cooked it for 9 minutes, added the broccoli, and cooked it for 3 more.) Drain the pasta and broccoli and return it to the pan. Stir in the cauliflower sauce and serve topped with sautéed mushrooms The pureed cauliflower forms a light yet creamy sauce that moistens the pasta and broccoli, while the sautéed mushrooms add chewy texture and earthy flavor. Besides being a great way to sneak a vegetable into a meal, this just tastes good. Try it with your favorite blend of spices and let me know your results.
