CREAMY PASTA WITH CRISPY MUSHROOMS
Supermarkets would have you believe it's always mushroom season. It is-for white buttons, maybe. But the first cool fall days bring feathery maitakes, meaty oysters, and other flavorful varieties worth seeking out at the farmers' market. Whichever one you pick, all they'll need is a quick sear in a hot pan before being tossed into a creamy pasta sauce.

Repeat with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and mushrooms and more salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and return all of the mushrooms to the pot. Add shallots and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions.
- Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with mushrooms and add cream and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid. Increase heat to medium, bring to a simmer, and cook, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

NO-CREAM WILD MUSHROOM PASTA SAUCE
I love this over 3-cheese ravioli, but you can easily use this over bow tie, linquini, or your favorite pasta. It is not difficult, rich in flavor and a bit lighter than a heavier cream sauce. The variety of all three mushrooms in this is what makes it so good. Now, I love shitake and porcini mushrooms, so I buy one or the other fresh, and the other dried to give a nice balance. But use what you can find. The dried mushrooms in this dish really add flavor. And, like all pasta dishes, garnish with good grated cheese - my choice is pecorino romano with this earthy mushroom dish.

Steps:
- Dried Mushrooms -- Rehydrate the mushrooms by adding 2 1/2 cups of boiling water to a bowl with the mushrooms and cover with plastic wrap. They will take about 10-15 minutes. Once they are re-hydrated and soft, thin slice. Don't throw away the liquid. You will be adding that to the broth.
- Mushrooms -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and heat to medium high. Add in the mushrooms, onions, scallions, garlic, rosemary, thyme and rosemary. and cook about 7-10 minutes until the mushrooms get brown and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, (mushrooms give off a natural liquid when cooked, but as they brown, the liquid will evaporate).
- Once the mushrooms are brown, add in the broth (reserve 1/4 cup to add to the corn starch to make a slurry or thickening agent. This will be used to thicken your sauce at the end), and the liquid from re-hydrating the mushrooms to the mushroom and onion mixture. Cook on medium to medium low heat for about 8-10 minutes until the broth is reduced by about 1/2.
- Finish -- Add the 1/4 reserved broth with the corn starch to make a slurry. This is what will thicken your sauce. Add to the mushrooms and bring to medium high heat. The sauce will begin to thicken. Continue to cook for a minute or two, and then add in the parsley and check for any seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Serve -- I really love this over a 3-cheese ravioli (just store bought it fine), but you can use any pasta you like. Top with cheese and ENJOY!

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente.
- Drain pasta and return to the pot.
- Cover to keep warm.
- If you are re-constituting dried mushrooms, boil slightly in a separate pot or pan until they have absorbed enough water to make them tender.
- If you are re-constituting dried mushrooms, add the fresh mushrooms to them for about 1 minute to allow them to absorb some of the wild mushroom flavor.
- In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the shallots, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cream.
- Increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Parmesan and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
- Add the pasta, stir to coat with the sauce, and cook until the pasta is heated through, 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat and divide equaly among serving bowls or plates.
- Sprinkle each serving with chives and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use a variety of wild mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms.
- If you can't find fresh wild mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 20 minutes before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a heavy cream for a richer sauce. You can also use half-and-half or milk, but the sauce will be thinner.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Serve the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

This pasta with creamy wild mushroom sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the mushrooms add a nice earthy flavor.
