  • 4

Ingredients

  • 4 oz. dried porcini mushrooms
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb. corzetti or orecchiette pasta
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz. cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups veal stock
  • 1 ⁄2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 ⁄4 cup minced parsley
  • Splash of Worcestershire Sauce
  • Splash of Sherry Vinager

Preparation

Step 1

Place porcinis in a bowl and cover with 2 cups boiling water; let sit until softened, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer porcinis to a cutting board and roughly chop; reserve 1⁄2 cup soaking liquid.

Bring a 6-qt. saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1⁄2 cup pasta water.

Wipe pan dry and add oil and the garlic; heat over medium-high. Cook until garlic is soft, 1–2 minutes. Add cremini and shiitake mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 7–9 minutes. Add reserved porcinis and their soaking liquid, the stock, salt, and pepper; simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, 5–7 minutes. Stir in reserved pasta and pasta water, plus half the parmesan and 3 tbsp. of the parsley, Worcestershire and vinegar. Garnish with remaining parmesan and parsley.
