Ingredients

  • 8 oz. rigatoni noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ large yellow onion diced
  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary de-stemmed and minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup dry white wine we used sauvignon blanc
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 3 oz. grated parmesan cheese ~¾ cup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • .75 oz. fresh basil thinly sliced (~5 leaves)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, drain and set aside. About 10 minutes.
  • While the noodles are cooking prepare the sauce. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil becomes fragrant add the onions and mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes. The mushrooms should reduce in size by about half, and the onions should become soft and translucent.
