Chanterelle Pasta

Author Notes: This is a dish that was once a romantic pasta course at a restaurant named Chanterelle and has now become a family favorite. It can be a little rich, so I sometimes add stock to the cream. - edamame2003 - edamame2003
Food52 Review: This delightful recipe illustrates perfectly how a few well-chosen ingredients, thoughtfully prepared, can come together easily with great results. I could not find fresh chanterelles, but had some excellent dried ones, which I used instead. Their gentle, earthy nature perfectly complements the bacon and shallots. The cream gives the dish a touch of richness, while the bright green peas make it rather pretty. Instead of broth, I used some of the mushroom’s soaking liquid, which I reduced with the shallots and mushrooms just before adding the bacon and cream. Mr. T’s comment says it all: “Very nice lunch!” - AntoniaJames
