Ingredients

• 500 g Fresh egg pasta ( raw )
• 200 g Boletus edulis ( sliced )
• 300 g Button mushroom ( sliced )
• 40 g Minimum butter sweet ( for cooking )
• 1 piece Yellow onion ( minced )
• 2 piece Garlic ( minced )
• 100 ml Dry white wine ( for deglazing )
• 200 ml Cream ( liquid )
• 60 g Parmesan cheese ( grated )
• 1 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley ( chopped )
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground

Instructions

1. Mushroom prep

   Clean the button mushrooms and porcini. Slice them into 3mm thick pieces. Finely mince the garlic and yellow onion.

2. Sautéing mushrooms

   In a large pan, heat the butter. Toss in the mushrooms. They will release their water first, then start to brown. Wait until they are golden and smell nutty.

3. Aromatics and deglazing

   Add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes without burning the garlic. Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce almost completely.

4. Binding the sauce

   Pour in the cream. Let it simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper.

5. Cooking pasta

   Plunge the pasta into a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente. Reserve a ladle of pasta water before draining.

6. Final coating

   Mix the pasta directly into the pan with the sauce. Add the parmesan and chopped flat parsley. If it's too thick, loosen it with a bit of the reserved pasta water.

Chef's tips

• Never wash mushrooms in a lot of water, they soak it up like sponges. A brush or damp cloth is enough.
• The pasta cooking water is full of starch; it's the secret to a sauce that clings perfectly to the noodles.

Storage

Keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat with a splash of milk to loosen the sauce that will have set.
