Hi this is Tony again from Cookinground 
and welcome back to my Kitchen today we are going to make
is a pasta dish 
and we are going to use penne
and what is it going to be, it  will be a mushroom sauce 
and with some nice onions and a bit of butter 
and you will see how it is going to turn out
it will be absolutely awesome. 
So !!
With out any further delay, let's get started. 
Ok here we are. 
pan is getting hot, we add about  
say about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil or any kind of oil you want. 
and 
we take 1 onion and put it there and wait for it to get hot. 
All right you can see it is sizzling. 
I take 1/2 of a small to medium onion 
I diced it as fine as possible 
If some pieces are a little bit larger, do not worry about it. 
Food inspector is not around today. 
And that goes in there 
and what I do 
I turn the heat down to low
on this one 
and we stir that for about 30 seconds.
Add about 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
you can add more or less depends on what you want. 
It is still a little to hot so I bring it down
Now we do not want to burn the onions 
so if it gets a little  hot like now 
I left it up a little bit 
because I want to satay the onions 
and I want them to satay very slowly until they be come clear a bit
so again if it becomes a little hot because of this gas stove then left it  up. 
Ok
and I take one clove of garlic 
that I used this handy dandy contraption 
and that goes in right now 
mix that up and 
that smells absolutely awesome 
So now I add the mushrooms 
you can use any type of mushrooms you want, chop them down like this  
I am using this kind that I call in Canada button mushrooms. 
and in it goes 
and now 
I will cook this 
nice and slow until everything absorbs  in 
or I say 
5 to 10 minutes depending 
on how 
the mushrooms 
become tender 
This is coming out really really nicely 
now if you want you can add more butter 
at this stage if you want 
but 
so since I will be adding cream 
towards the end 
I do not want to add anymore butter at this point.
I will be going to add salt 
basically when the mushrooms are done 
now a lot of people can argue with me  
and they want to but the salt in now 
but this is the way I do it .
Someone on Youtube said well 
" I have been on since 2016 and 
i have never seen anyone do that "
Well then you know 
you follow their instructions. 
This is the way I do it...
Now you can see that it is almost coming along.
becoming soft. 
There almost there 
I would say another 2 to 3 minutes and they will be perfect.
Ok !!  Now you can see 
that there really really soft, so now 
I will add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
About 1/3 teaspoon of black pepper 
fresh remember 
move that all around 
that smells good 
and now, I increase the heat a little bit 
take some cream 
at 12 % but you can use 18 % if you want 
our you can use that 1/2 and 1/2 the kind you use for coffee.
Now I know thats
this is chocolate brown but its cream, do not be concerned. 
and I put in maybe what ? 
say about 1/3 to 1/2 a cup.
there we go, and 
let's move that around 
Now at this point 
I really do not want to use anymore cream
so what I like to do after this point after it has been 
cooking anywhere from 45 seconds to 
any where from a minute to minute and a 1/2. 
is 
I now like to top it up with milk.
because in this way I can control the thickness 
of
the sauce how I like it 
and 
now bring it down to low.
now let that cook
for awhile 
Boy is that looking good.
Hmmmm smiles really good. 
And I take 1 
tablespoon of all purpose flour 
use whole wheat flour if you want 
and I add that into the mixture to make it a little more thick. 
Now at this point you can add some 
other goodies 
that you want 
of course you can add 
you know red pepper, zucchini, but  
when I make a mushroom sauce,,, I like to taste the 
" mushrooms " 
Now 
Notice how it is starting to get thick 
If you want it to be a little more thinner 
I would advise you to add a little more milk. 
more at this stage. 
So once you turn off the heat, it will become thicker ,
Now take a little chopped green onions 
just a little to give it some color
and some greatness. 
And I mix this in, now look 
how that is starting to look 
is that not absolutely awesome .
So !!
That's basically it, i will put this 
on my pasta, penne
or spaghetti 
in a bowl or plate 
what ever you like. 
And we are back here, are sauce  
if you notice 
the sauce did become a little more thick, that does not matter
because as we transfer some of the penne  
there will be water from the pasta and it will loosen up a bit . 
So now 
Here is our penne 
Just follow the instructions on it 
and we turn that off 
Now what I like to do at this stage is 
I do not drain it, I do 
is I have the heat going here on medium 
 take it like this 
because I want a little of the water 
water that has the starches 
to go into, so 
what I use 
instead of straining 
and please do not strain it 
under cold water
or any type of straining with water.
but if you want to, then go right ahead
but I would never advise that. 
And now 
We just.
blend that all in and incorporate, like this 
See how that sauce is coming now. 
And the water from 
the pasta was perfect 
becasue it contains 
starches that 
helps thicken it up and helps 
glue all this together 
And 
There we have it. 
Shut off the heat,
Let it sit for bout 5 minutes and it is ready to serve. 
So !!

very very fast
you can do it in 5 minutes prep-time
