Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 09:49:43 GMT

Step 1

Bring water to boil in a large pot for cooking the pasta.

Step 2

Place the porcini mushrooms in a small bowl and cover them with 1 cup of boiling water. Soak for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the mushrooms from the liquid and keep the liquid.

Step 4

Add olive oil and melt the butter in a large skillet.

Step 5

When the butter is melted, add garlic and saute over medium heat until they are just beginning to brown around the edges.

Step 6

Add the chopped porcini mushrooms, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add white wine and simmer until the alcohol is evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Strain the soaking liquid through a colander into the pan and simmer briskly until the liquid has been reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Stir the cream into the pan and simmer just until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust if necessary.

Step 10

While preparing the sauce, cook and drain the pasta. Once the water has boiled, add a generous amount of salt and the pasta of your choice, and cook until al dente. Make sure to reserve about 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water before draining.

Step 11

Toss the hot pasta with the mushroom sauce and pasta water.

Step 12

Mix well and transfer portions to warm pasta bowls.

Step 13

Serve immediately seasoned with freshly ground black pepper and some shavings of Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
