- Wild Mushroom Broken Spaghetti Risotto with Arugula and Hazelnuts:
- Place mushrooms, stock and water in a sauce pot and heat, keep warm on low.
- Heat a medium saute pan or risotto pan with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat.
- Add onions and garlic to pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add pasta and toast until deeply golden in color and very nutty in fragrance, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in wine and let it cook away, 1 minute.
- Ladle in stock every few minutes, stirring for a good minute with each addition of stock to develop starches.
- Evaporate almost all of the liquid before each addition of stock.
- Pasta will cook up quicker then rice.
- Start tasting after about 8 to 9 minutes of cooking time once you begin to add stock.
- When you are down to the last cup of your liquids, remove mushrooms, chop and add to pasta.
- While the pasta cooks, toast hazelnuts in a skillet until fragrant.
- Peel nuts by rubbing the skins off in a clean kitchen towel.
- When pasta is cooked to al dente, stir butter into the pan then stir in the cheese.
- Dress arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve risotto in shallow bowls topped with greens and nuts.
