    23 September 1889 - HANDMADE PLAYING CARDS LAUNCH JAPAN'S NINTENDO:
    Fusajiro Yamauchi thinks a revival of Japanese card playing would mean
    good business, so he founds Nintendo Koppai in Kyoto, a company
    specializing in the Hanafuda card game. A century or so later the firm
    will gain worldwide success when it evolves into an electronic games
    company.

    Nintendo distributed its first console, the Color TV-Game, in 1977. It
    gained international recognition with the release of Donkey Kong in 1981
    and the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario Bros. in 1985.

    Since then, Nintendo has produced some of the most successful consoles
    in the video game industry, such as the Game Boy, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo DS, the Wii, and the Switch. It has
    created numerous major franchises.

    Title: Mario Bros Mushroom Pasta
    Categories: Pasta, Vegetables, Mushrooms, Dairy, Cheese
    Yield: 4 servings

    4 Servings linguine; cooked
    2 tb Olive oil
    1 c Onion; fine chopped
    6 Baby bella mushrooms;
    - sliced
    1 tb Garlic; fine minced
    1 ts Chile flakes (to taste)
    1 c Grated Parmesan; more for
    - topping
    2 c Fresh Italian flat leaf
    - parsley; fine chopped,
    - separated in 1 cup lots
    1/4 c White wine
    1 c Reserved pasta water
    1/2 c Heavy cream

    Cook the linguine noodles according to the instructions
    on the package. Before draining, reserve one cup of the
    pasta water.

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive
    oil. Sauté the onions, mushrooms, garlic, and red pepper
    flakes for 5-8 minutes or until the onions are just
    beginning to soften.

    Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, stirring while
    the wine cooks off. When the wine is reduced by half,
    add in half of the parsley and the grated Parmesan
    cheese. Stir until the spoon leaves a clean trail
    through the skillet and the wine has almost completely
    cooked off, about 5-10 minutes.

    Add the reserved pasta water to the skillet along with
    the heavy cream. Bring to a light simmer while stirring
    occasionally until the sauce is just starting to
    thicken, about 5 more minutes.

    Reduce the skillet temperature to medium-low. Stir the
    cooked pasta noodles into the sauce. Toss and fold until
    the pasta is completely coated in the sauce. Add the
    remaining parsley to the skillet and stir to combine.

    Serve right away with grated Parmesan for topping. For a
    true "Mario-style" pasta, pick out all of the mushrooms
    just prior to eating. Enjoy!

    Serves: 4
