Don't have the recipe from Portofino's, but here is a recipe that I found that sounds pretty good:

 

Pasta with Mushrooms and Mascarpone

(makes two servings)

 

Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

 

Mushrooms, chopped - 1 pound

 

Onion, chopped - ½ cup -

 

Garlic, minced - 2 cloves -

 

White wine and/or Chicken broth - 1½ cup

 

Mascarpone - 1 cups

 

Fresh parsley, chopped fine - 1 tablespoon

 

Fresh thyme, chopped fine - 1 tablespoon

 

Kosher salt - to taste

 

Pepper, fresh ground - to taste

 

Pasta, cooked al dente - ½ pound

 

Parmesan, grated - to taste

 

 

 

Heat half the oil in sauté pan over medium heat; add and sauté mushrooms till some liquid “sweats” out

and evaporates, and they turn very dark in color. Remove mushrooms from pan and set aside. Add remaining olive oil to

pan and sauté onions for five minutes, or till they begin to turn golden in color. Add and sauté garlic just till it becomes

fragrant, then immediately pour in wine and/or chicken broth. Raise heat, add chopped herbs and reduce liquid by about

half. Add mushrooms and remove from heat; meanwhile drain the cooked pasta and place on plates. Add mascarpone to

mushroom sauce and stir till fully incorporated; season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over -- or toss with –

pasta. Top with grated Parmesan and fresh herbs.

 

 

 

Buon Appetito!
