Ingredients
- 500 gm penne rigate
- 450 gm mixed fresh mushroom (flat chestnut shiitake or possibly mixed wild mushrooms for example) finely minced
- 10 gm dry porcini mushrooms
- 250 ml creme fraiche
- 3 Tbsp. lowfat milk
- 50 gm butter
- 4 lrg shallots peeled and finely minced
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 whl nutmeg grated
- Â Â lots of freshly grated parmesan (parmigiano reggiano) to serve
- 1 x salt and freshly milled black pepper
Directions
- Pop the porcini in a small bowl then heat the lowfat milk pour it over the mushrooms and leave them to soak for 30 min.
- Heat the butter in a medium frying pan over a gentle heat stir in the shallots and let them cook gently for 5 min.
- Strain the porcini into a sieve lined with kitchen paper reserving the soaking liquid and squeeze the porcini dry.
- Chop them finely and add in them to the pan along with the fresh mushrooms and the balsamic vinegar.
- Season with salt pepper and nutmeg.
- Give it all a good stir then cook gently uncovered for 30 to 40 min till all the liquid has evapourated.
- About 15 min before the mushrooms are ready put the pasta on to cook.
- Then 2 min before the pasta is cooked mix the creme fraiche with the mushrooms and the mushroom soaking liquid and hot through in a small saucepan.
- Drain the pasta in a colander return it to the warm pan and quickly fold in the mushroom mix then place the pasta back on a gentle heat so it continues to cook for 1 more minute while it absorbs the sauce.
- Take it to the table in a warm serving bowl and hand the Parmesan round separately.
- Because the pasta will be returned to the pan for 1 minute dont forget to give it 1 minute less on the initial cooking time.
- Serves 4
