Fettuccini Al Fungi Recipes

EASY ITALIAN MUSHROOM FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan add olive oil, mushrooms, salt, garlic, chopped Italian parsley, hot pepper flakes and water. Cook on medium heat for approximately 20-25 minutes, until mushrooms are tender and water has evaporated.
• While mushrooms are cooking cook the fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente, drain then add to the cooked mushrooms along with half a ladle of pasta water. Cook on medium heat while tossing until water has evaporated and becomes almost creamy. Serve immediately. Top with freshly grated parmesan or pecorino cheese if desired. Enjoy!

TAGLIATELLE AI FUNGHI (TAGLIATELLE WITH MUSHROOMS)

Steps:

• Add the porcini mushrooms to a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Leave aside.
• Boil the pasta in salted water until it reaches an almost al dente stage. Reserve 1 cup of water (about 200 ml) before draining.
• In a frying pan, melt the butter, and add the chopped shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.
• In the meantime, drain the porcini mushrooms, chop them coarsely, and add to the pan. Cook for 1 more minute.
• Add the double cream and continue to stir until it evaporates, about 2 minutes, taking care to scrape the bits on the bottom regularly.
• Add the mascarpone and half of the pasta water. Cook until the sauce is creamy. Add more water if needed, but keep in mind the sauce should be creamy, not watery.
• Add the drained pasta and toss it over moderate heat, until it's cooked through (about 2-3 minutes). Add more pasta water if needed.
• Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH FUNGHI TRIFOLATI

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms in very hot water until soft, anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. When they are tender, remove the dried mushrooms from the soaking liquid with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid; slice or chop if the pieces are large.
• Set a large pot of water to boil for the pasta and salt it. Put a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. When it is hot, add the garlic and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms when they're ready, and cook until they give up their liquid and start to brown, at least 15 minutes. Add the white wine or mushroom-soaking liquid to the pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom as the liquid starts to bubble.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta until tender.
• Reduce skillet heat to low. Add remaining butter and the parsley, and stir to combine; sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the pasta is done, drain it. Add the pasta to the mushroom mixture, and toss until well combined. If the mixture is dry, add a little pasta water or mushroom-soaking liquid. If you like, garnish with Parmesan and more parsley.
