Chris already saute'd these exotic mushrooms earlier, so I managed a photo after he uncovered them []

Cheese of choice for this dish...

I came in LATE from work, missed the prep that Chris had started, but here, I was able to capture the already started garlic-onion-rosemary saute heating in the 12" pan..

Sorry JB, you'll have to look elsewhere. Now then, I have the photos from tonight's promised Risotto dinner for you coming right up next.... ............Gary

Thanks Brac for your lovely dinner postings! Its great to have more people sharing their foodie ideas in works and pictures [Y] Thursday evening, we are thinking of doing up a mushroom Risotto, so you may want to keep an eye out for it being featured [] Happy cookin' ...........Gary

Hey there Brac ! Welcome aboard, and YES, when you and wife are back in the kitchen together, PLEASE share a dinner procedure in photos much like the posts you have seen (by myself and Chris). Its what THIS thread is all about...........and, nothing like having your favorite muse on while having a fine glass of vino or other beverage of choice to go with the prep and cooking [Y] Come back again. ..........Gary

Yes, yes Boxx ! I would LOVE to see you do some cooking again. You have a great kitchen there with FINE toys for putting great dishes together...........when you can, I know you will [Y] Thanks for your compliments as always. Check back now and then to see whats new. .........Gary

And finally, the VINO selection.............again, this from our Laithwaites wine club... Hope you enjoyed the Swedish meatless meatball tour and presentation. Who will be next to show a fine dish? To that, I say, I hope you were inspired by these somewhat simple dishes we put together, and to get some good photos to share with everyone too ! Heathy eating friends [Y] .....Gary

The closeup.

Our table setting ... Cloth napkins in the carved bear holders, vino is poured.....time to shut down those overhead halogens and crank up some Gene Haris piano jazz ! [Y]

........fresh broad leaf parsley to top things off as always []

'Meatballs' and sauce added to the plate..

Plating of the pasta... yes, thats genuine 'Fiestaware' in cobalt, made in USA (beware, there are China versions of these!)

Some nice 'premium' pasta is all that is used around here, ....and the water it goes (over at my workstation).

Simmer those components..

The vegetarian 'sour cream' goes in next..... You would NOT believe how good this tastes! So, if your watching your cholesterol numbers (as I do) some of these NON-dairy alternatives are worthy of a chance in your dishes.. And I can honestly say, there is NO cholesterol in any part of this dish, which would normally be rather high with ingredients of meats, cream and butter.

The first of THREE nugmet gratings for a unique flavour which is very much a part of Chris' family recipe...

More broth needed !

In go the meatless 'theme' of the dish...

How 'bout a little toast over a great dish about to be finished and plated ? [H]

Giving that a stir to incorp the ingredients so far.

Adding some good veggie broth to this mixture...

Oh, wanted to mention, I did simply the small amount of prep for this dish, but Chris actually put the sauce together. Here he is stiring things up .

At this point, the fresh garlic goes into the mix for a bit....

A little sea salt []
