Pasta and mushrooms are a gorgeous combination, especially when you pay attention to your cooking liquid. This recipe uses the soaking water for dried mushrooms and the cooking water for pasta to bring together a silky-smooth vegetarian sauce packed with umami.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dried porcini mushrooms (about ½ oz.)
- ⅔ cup boiling water
- 8 oz. uncooked bucatini
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- ¼ cup finely chopped shallots
- 2 (4 oz.) packages exotic mushroom blend, coarsely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp. dry sherry
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 oz. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
- ¼ cup evaporated skim milk
- 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh sage
-
½ tsp. cracked black pepper
Optional Garnishes*:
- Sage sprigs
Directions
- Rinse porcini thoroughly. Combine porcini and 2/3 cup boiling water in a bowl; cover and let stand (30 minutes). Drain in a sieve over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup soaking liquid. Chop porcini.
- Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente (10 minutes). Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add shallots, mushroom blend, and garlic; sauté, stirring frequently. (5 minutes)
- Stir in porcini, sherry, and salt; cook until liquid evaporates (1 minute).
- Finely grate 1 ounce cheese; crumble remaining cheese. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in pasta, 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup reserved porcini soaking liquid, 1/4 cup grated cheese, evaporated milk, chopped sage, and pepper; toss well to combine.
- Place about 1 1/4 cups pasta mixture on each of 4 plates; top each serving with about 1 tablespoon crumbled cheese. Garnish with sage sprigs, if desired.
