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
