    Crusty Fettucini with Mushroom Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    Homemade pasta made w/ 4 eggs and 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
    6 quarts water
    3 Tbsp salt
    3 cups mushroom sauce
    Olive oil

    Recipe



    Roll dough not too thin and cut into fettucine. Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. Add pasta and salt; when boiling resumes, cook for 1 minute. Drain well, place in a large bowl with the mushroom sauce, and toss quickly to distribute the sauce evenly. Loosely cover with a clean towel and set aside for a few hours.

    Heat 3 Tbsp of oil in a large frying pan. Pour half the dressed fettucine in the pan and flatten down with a spatula. Cook over very low heat, shaking the pan from time to time, until a golden crust is formed at the bottom. Turn by covering with a dish and flipping, then cook until golden on the other side. Repeat with the other half of fettucine.

    Mushroom Sauce:
    1/2 oz imported dried porcini mushrooms
    1 cup warm water
    2 lbs small, firm white mushrooms
    6 Tbsp olive oil
    2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 Tbsp freshly chopped Italian parsley
    1/4 tsp dried savory
    1 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    2 Tbsp tomato paste
    1/2 c dry white wine

    Soak dried mushrooms in 1 cup of warm water for 10 minutes. Lift them with a fork, reserving the water. Remove and discard any parts which still have sand attached and coarsely chop. Wash, drain, and thinly slice the fresh mushrooms. Place oil, onion, garlic, parsley, savory, salt, and pepper in a saucepan, and saute for 1/2 minute. Add the two mushrooms and cook over moderately high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add tomato paste and wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until the alcohol has evaporated -- about 2 minutes. Add the reserved water from the soaked mushrooms, taking care not to include any sand that might remain at the bottom of the cup. Cook over high heat 5 minutes longer or until liquid is greatly reduced.
