Pasta with porcini mushrooms and white truffle oil
Ingredients
Pasta, cooked, your choice (fettucine has great texture for this dish) 1 lb dried
Porcini mushrooms, dried (reconstituted in warm water and squeezed dry) 1 oz
Butter, salted 3-4 Tbs
White truffle oil (available in Italian specialty stores) 3-4 Tbs
Method
Heat butter until it has just melted. Drain (al dente) cooked pasta, toss with butter. Add truffle oil and toss again. Chop porcini mushrooms into bite-size pieces. Combine with pasta, butter and oil. Serve immediately.
Pairs well with earthy red wines: most Nebbiolos, some Tuscan wines made from Sangiovese, or earthy Pinot Noirs like many older Burgundies.
