Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper 12 ounces gemelli or other short twisted pasta 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1 cup), rinsed in cold water 4 tablespoons butter 1 shallot, minced 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc 10 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente; drain, and return to pot. Set aside. While pasta is cooking, in a small bowl, soak porcini in 1 1/2 cups hot water until tender, at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; cook until almost evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add button and shiitake mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and begin to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add porcini and their soaking liquid (leaving any grit at the bottom of the bowl) and thyme to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces by half, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer porcini mixture to pot with pasta. Add Parmesan and remaining butter, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with more Parmesan.

Cook’s Notes Soaking dried porcini mushrooms in hot water softens them and creates an intense broth used for the pasta’s sauce. Find dried porcini in the international aisle of markets and gourmet stores.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/03/2019   This recipe was fantastic! I'm not a very big fan of mushrooms but my husband and daughter are and we all absolutely loved it! We had ordered a similar dish at a swanky downtown Chicago restaurant and they both agreed this was much better. I followed the recipe to a T and didn't make any changes. I used cavatapi noodles. I was hesitant about adding the porcini liquid but I'm so glad that I did! Delicious!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 1 stars       12/06/2017   This is a recipe no one should make, the choice of mushroom, the dry wet execution and the lack of flavor is terrible, it is unfixable, this was not a tested recipe  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/11/2010   Yummy recipe if you like mushrooms. I added some lemon zest at the end (a trick I recently learned from one of my favorite restaurants). It took it to a whole new level. Next time, I'm going to see if sour cream adds to it as well.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/31/2010   This dish is delicious, and it's really simple to prepare. It's also much more subtle in flavor than I expected it to be. Sometimes mushrooms can be overwhelming, but this was lovely.
