The days are getting colder and autumn is here. This means that I crave comforting foods more than ever. And what can be more comforting than pasta? When cooked in a single pot, it’s also my favorite type of pasta. This dish is so fuss free and delicious that I am absolutely in love.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 1.24 EUR per serving / 4.95 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

2 carrots (0.20 EUR)

2 celery ribs (0.20 EUR)

2 tbsp butter (0.27 EUR)

500 grams button mushrooms (2.00 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

1 tbsp dried parsley (0.07 EUR)

400 grams fusilli pasta (0.80 EUR)

2 cups veggie broth (0.13 EUR)

1 cup milk (0.20 EUR)

½ cup shredded hard cheese (0.80 EUR)

METHOD:

Peel, wash and chop up all the veggies and mushrooms. Add oil, onion, carrots and celery to a skillet on high heat and saute for a few minutes until slightly translucent. Add in butter and mushrooms then cook for about 5-10 minutes until the mushrooms are slightly caramelized. Add in garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, pasta, veggie broth and milk. Give a good stir and make sure that the pasta is submerged under the liquid. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and cover tightly with a lid. Cook for about 15 minutes, until pasta is cooked to al dente, while stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings, then stir in shredded cheese. Serve immediately. This dish also reheats well, so it’s a good option to take to work.

Dani su sve hladniji i jesen nam je stigla, a to znači da mi se jede fina i topla hrana za dušu. A ne znam što bi bolje upalo u tu kategoriju od tjestenine. Još kada je ta tjestenina skuhana u jednom jedinom loncu, to mi je odmah najdraži tip jela. Ovo je sve ispalo tako jednostavno i ukusno da je odmah upisano na listu mojih favorita.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcija / 9,24 kn po porciji / 36,96 kn za sve)

2 žlice suncokretovog ulja (0,20 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

2 mrkve (1,50 kn)

2 rebra celera (1,50 kn)

2 žlice maslaca (2,00 kn)

500 g šampinjona (15,00 kn)

1 žličica češnjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

½ žličice soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

1 žlica sušenog peršina (0,50 kn)

400 g fusila (6,00 kn)

2 šalice povrtnog temeljca (1,00 kn)

1 šalica mlijeka (1,50 kn)

½ šalice ribanog tvrdog sira (6,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte svo povrće i gljive. Ulje, luk, mrkve i celer stavite u dublju tavu na jakoj vatri i dinstajte nekoliko minuta da malo omekšaju. Dodajte maslac i gljive, te kuhajte 5-10 minuta da se gljive lagano karameliziraju. Ubacite češnjak u prahu, sol, papar, peršin, tjesteninu, temeljac i mlijeko. Dobro sve promiješajte, vodeći računa o tome da je tjestenina uglavnom potopljena u tekućinu. Pustite da zavrije, smanjite vatru i kuhajte čvrsto poklopljeno. Kuhajte 15-tak minuta, da tjestenina bude kuhana al dente, s time da nekoliko puta za vrijeme kuhanja sve promiješate. Kušajte i prilagodite začine, pa umiješajte još i ribani sir. Poslužite odmah. Ovo se jelo također i dobro podgrijava, pa je super opcija za pripremiti unaprijed i ponijeti na posao.
