Creamed Savoy Cabbage With Mushrooms And Buckwheat Pasta

• 2 ounces dried porcini or other dried mushrooms
• Kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 pound fresh mushrooms, trimmed and thickly sliced
• 1 shallot, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 small head Savoy cabbage, quartered, core removed and cut into 1/4-inch strips
• 1 pound buckwheat penne rigate
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for garnish

1. Cover the dried porcini mushrooms with 1 cup of boiling water and steep for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Remove the rehydrated mushrooms and set aside.
3. Pour the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl to catch any sand or dirt, and reserve the liquid.
4. Finely dice the rehydrated mushrooms and set aside again.
5. Set a large saucepan of water seasoned with 2 to 3 tablespoons salt over high heat.
6. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until foamy.
7. Add the dried and fresh mushrooms to the skillet and saute until browned.
8. Add the shallot, garlic and onion and season with salt and pepper.
9. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
10. Add the dried mushroom broth and the cabbage to the pan and season lightly.
11. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook until the cabbage is tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
12. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes.
13. Place a colander in the sink and drain the pasta.
14. Toss several times to cool, then set aside.
15. While the pasta cools, add the cream and thyme to the cabbage mixture, and cook until the liquid is reduced in volume and slightly thickened.
16. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated.
17. Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
