Fettuccine with Wild Mushroom Sauce
- 1/2 ounce dried porcini, or other dried mushrooms
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms, such as shiitake, portobello, and cremini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 pound fettuccine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Put the dried mushrooms in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over them.
- Soak until softened, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid, and chop them.
- If the liquid is gritty, strain it through a paper-towel-lined sieve.
- If using shiitakes or portobellos, remove the stems.
- Slice the wild mushrooms.
- In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat.
- Add the sliced wild and white mushrooms and the rosemary.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and mushrooms are brown, about 3 minutes longer.
- Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer.
- Stir in the wine, the dried mushrooms with the soaking liquid, and the salt.
- Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the pepper.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fettuccine until just done, about 12 minutes.
- Drain.
- Toss with the mushroom sauce, butter, Parmesan, and parsley.
- Serve with additional Parmesan.
