Fettuccine With Wild Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Soak porcini in cup of boiling water 30 minutes. Trim stalks from the fresh mushrooms, wash off grit under cold running water and slice into one-and-a-half-inch pieces.
• Using a large skillet, soften the garlic and the shallots in two tablespoons butter and oil. Meanwhile, bring six quarts salted water to a boil.
• Strain the porcini through a paper towel, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop the porcini and add them to the skillet with the thyme, salt and pepper and white wine. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. Add the porcini cooking liquid and continue to cook over moderate heat until it has almost evaporated.
• Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine until al dente. Drain and toss in a heated bowl with the remaining tablespoon butter (you could use truffle oil instead).
• Over moderate heat, stir the creme fraiche into the mushrooms. Correct seasoning and pour them over the fettuccine. Toss, sprinkle with parsley and serve. Pass the cheese separately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Cook onions and garlic (with salt and pepper to taste) until lightly golden.
• Add mushrooms, turn up heat, and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until soft, about 2 minutes.
• Pour in cream and add thyme; boil for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Stir in lemon juice and soy sauce and remove from heat.
• Pour sauce over hot linguine and toss well.
• Top with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously-salted (very important as this dish is so simple) water to a boil and cook pasta to just under al dente according to package instructions. If the package says 9 minutes, take out around 7. Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before straining.
• In a dry, heavy-bottom skillet set over medium-high heat, brown mushrooms in batches until golden and crisp. I browned each variety of mushroom on its own as they may have different moisture levels. It should take about 6-7 minutes per batch to get them nice and golden - don't rush this part. It's the big flavour maker!
• Once all your mushrooms have been browned, remove everything from the pan. Add the butter and olive oil to pan and let it get shimmering and hot. Add the garlic and let it cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, parsley and red pepper flakes and sauté until everything is combined, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Strain pasta (don't forget to reserve 1 cup starchy water), and add back to large pot. Scoop the mushroom mixture into the pasta, making sure to really scrape all the good bits from the pan, with the Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of starch water and toss. If it's too dry, add more water a little at a time until you've got a nice, loose mushroom sauce coating all the noodles. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.
• Garnish each serving with pine nuts, extra cheese, parsley and fresh ground pepper.

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, bring salted water to a boil.
• In a large saute pan, over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 1 minute, just until beginning to turn translucent. Add the marjoram and saute 1 more minute. Add the mushrooms and saute until they begin to brown and release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the Mushroom Stock and reduce 5 minutes. Add the cream and reduce about 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and quickly toss with mushroom sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Divide onto serving plates and serve immediately garnished with marjoram sprigs.
• Combine the chicken stock and mushrooms in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Strain.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Salt the water, add the pasta and cook to al dente. Heads up: Remove and reserve 1 cup of cooking water just before draining.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until deeply browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes, adding the garlic, thyme, and sage midway through the cooking. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, to taste, and a little freshly grated nutmeg. Deglaze the pan with the Marsala and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the cream, (or if you prefer, top the pasta with a dollop of ricotta at serving time). Stir in the reserved pasta cooking water, about 1 cup if using ricotta, and just enough to thin out the sauce to your liking if using cream.
• Drain the pasta and toss with sauce, parsley, and cheese. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowls and top each with a dollop of ricotta, if using, for mixing into the fettuccine as you eat.
