Ingredients 

  • 300 g (10.5 oz) tagliatelle pasta
  • 20 g (1 tablespoon) butter
  • 40 g (1.5 oz) porcini mushrooms, dry
  • 200 g (7 oz) shiitake mushrooms
  • 150 g (¾ cup) mascarpone
  • 50 ml (¼ cup) double cream (heavy cream)

Instructions

  • Add the porcini mushrooms to a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. Leave aside.
    40 g porcini mushrooms
  • Boil the pasta in salted water until it reaches an almost al dente stage. Reserve 1 cup of water (about 200 ml) before draining.
    300 g tagliatelle pasta
  • In a frying pan, melt the butter, and add the chopped shiitake mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.
    20 g butter
    200 g shiitake mushrooms
  • In the meantime, drain the porcini mushrooms, chop them coarsely, and add to the pan. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the double cream and continue to stir until it evaporates, about 2 minutes, taking care to scrape the bits on the bottom regularly.
    50 ml double cream (heavy cream)
  • Add the mascarpone and half of the pasta water. Cook until the sauce is creamy. Add more water if needed, but keep in mind the sauce should be creamy, not watery.
    150 g mascarpone
  • Add the drained pasta and toss it over moderate heat, until it's cooked through (about 2-3 minutes). Add more pasta water if needed.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Instead of tagliatelle, you can use other types of long pasta, such as fettuccine or pappardelle. Spaghetti would work in a pinch.
