Portabella Pot Pie with Crumb Crust



You don't need a pastry crust for this pot pie, just some bread crumbs. It's best to use flat, wide egg noodles, but you can use fettuccini if you wish.

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces flat, wide egg noodles or fettuccini
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 6-ounce package sliced Portabella caps
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dried savory
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup cold water
  • 2 cups dried bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter


Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Fill a large pot half full of water. Salt the water, bring to a boil, and add the noodles. Cook until done. About 10 minutes. Drain and mix with a little oil.

While the noodles are cooking, place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until slightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add ½ cup of water and the mushrooms, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the mushrooms have given off a considerable amount of liquid.

Add the salt, soy sauce, and savory and stir. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Combine with the noodles and mix well.

Place the mushroom mixture in a shallow baking dish, cover evenly with the crumbs, and top with the cheese. Drizzle with butter and place in the oven for 5 minutes before serving.
