Ingredients

  • 3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced shallots
  • 10 ounce package domestic mushrooms, caps sliced finely
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 12 ounces fedelini
  • Salt and pepper
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish

Method

  • Soak dried porcini in water for two hours at least or for as long as possible.
  • When porcini are soft, drain, reserving liquid, and finely mince the porcini; reserve until later.
  • Heat the butter in a 12 inch skillet.
  • Add the shallots and saute for a few minutes or until tender.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and saute another minute or so or until they begin to wilt.
  • Add minced drained porcini mushrooms and reserved liquid and reduce until the mushrooms have almost entirely absorbed the porcini liquid.
  • Add the heavy cream and reduce slightly.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Portion out the cooked fedelini and spoon sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with shavings of Parmesan cheese.
