Author Notes

I love the nutty-woodsy, and meaty taste of porcini mushrooms. One of my favorite preparations is using them in pasta. The fettucine made this dish extra rich and luxurious. —Ilona Oppenheim

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 10 sage leaves
  • 8 ounces tagliatelli pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • parmesan cheese
Directions
  1. Place mushrooms in a medium sized bowl and cover with 2 cups of water. Soak for 20 minutes. Drain reserving the liquid.
  2. Heat olive oil on in a large sautee pan on medium heat and add the garlic. Remove the garlic and discard. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes until they are soft. Increase the temperature to high and add the wine and sage. Cook until the alcohol evaporates- about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the broth, 1 cup of the reserved mushroom water and the salt. Cook until he liquid is reduced in half- about 10-15 minutes.
  4. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fettucini until just done. Drain and toss with the mushroom mixture.
  5. Serve with parmesan cheese grated on top.

I wanted a recipe that put the porcini front and center and this did the trick. The directions don't indicate when to use the butter--I used it alongside the oil. I also used 3/4 ts. dried sage because I had none fresh on hand. It's simple and rich. I look forward to making it again.
