Pasta ai funghi trifolati (sautéed mushroom pasta)
Ingredients
- Punnet of mushrooms
- Packet of dried mushrooms (approx 30g, chopped)
- Butter
- Garlic (chopped)
- 1/2 Onion (chopped)
- Glass of white wine
- Pasta (linguini or so)
- Parmesan (optional)
0. Add a little bit of hot water to the dried mushrooms--this should rest for about 15 minutes. Thereafter the mushrooms can be taken out, but keep the "mushroom-water".
1. In the mean time, sautee 2 teaspoons of butter with onions. After a minute or two, add the garlic. Cook until the onions have softened (3 to 5 mins).
2. Start cooking the pasta in salty water with a dash of oil (so they don't stick). Pasta takes approx 10 to 15 mins to cook.
3. Add wetted dry mushrooms and punnet of mushrooms to the pan. Cook at least until mushrooms release their moisture and go soft.
4. Add in the mushroom water and glass of white wine--cook for a while longer for the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to mix.
5. Turn down heat, add one tablespoon of butter, mix in. Add pasta, mix while warming everything together.
6. Season with salt, pepper, dish up, sprinkle with parmesan.
If the pasta cooked a bit dry, add back in a bit of the starchy water left behind after cooking it.
