Cooking Directions

  • Place the bread and olive oil into a food processor.  Cover and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Heat half the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the mushrooms, shallots and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms and shallot are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Increase the heat to high.  Stir in the wine and heat to a boil.  Cook until the wine is reduced by half.  Add the broth and green beans and heat to a boil.  Cook for 10 minutes or until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally.  Stir in the mascarpone and cook until melted
  • Stir the flour and remaining butter in a small bowl until smooth.  Stir the flour mixture in the skillet.  Spoon the bean mixture into a shallow 2 1/2-quart casserole.  Sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture.
