Fettuccine with Shiitakes
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces shiitakes, stemmed, cleaned, and cut in half
- 1 cup Light Chicken Stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 ounces Cinzano or sweet red vermouth
- 8 ounces fresh fettuccine
- 1 bunch of arugula, cleaned and chopped (1 cup)
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat.
- Saute the garlic until soft but not burned.
- Add the shiitakes and cook until they give up their liquid, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the stock and Cinzano: Bring to a boil and boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- The sauce should just coat the mushrooms.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Drop in the fettuccine and bring back to a boil.
- Taste, and drain when it is slightly al dente but no longer crunchy, about 1 minute.
- Over high heat, toss the arugula into the shiitake sauce until it just wilts.
- Pour the sauce over the drained pasta and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Serve hot.
