Ingredients

  • 20g dried Porcini mushrooms
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 500g mixed mushrooms
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 500g fresh pasta
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper
  • Truffle

There are many recipes with simply pasta, parmesan and truffles which are delicious but I do love the addition of mushrooms. However I should probably add the disclaimer that I am inclined to the ‘more is more’ School of Thought!

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
  2. Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a cup of hot water and leave for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the dried porcini retaining ¼ of a cup of the liquid and roughly chop.
  4. Heat the butter and oil in a frypan and sauté the mushrooms until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
  5. Stir in the garlic and porcini and cook for another 30 seconds before seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the chopped parsley and mix.
  7. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions and drain.
  8. Transfer the pasta to the fry pan with the mushrooms and stir in the porcini water if it seems too dry. Serve and shave your truffle over.

Enjoy..!!

About Post Author
Allow me to introduce myself with a quote from Nigella Lawson, “My qualification is as an eater”! Originally hailing from Hong Kong, I spent my formative years shuttling between one of the most densely populated places on earth and deepest, darkest Dorset, where resided an archaic institution for the gifted and talented - only joking! I've since discovered that I take to the country just as well as the urban intensity of Hong Kong, London and now Sydney. What does not surprise me is that I’ve ended up at the periphery of the food industry as I have always loved, and have a deep abiding interest in, food in all its glory. And Truffles! I just love truffles. Truffles happily combine with another great love I have, dogs. I feel the need to confess, however, my dogs are not truffle dogs as I’ve raised them much like my children, free range. But then, everyone’s happy! I love food, I love cooking and I certainly love eating!
