Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saffron and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; increase the heat to medium high and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Remove 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and transfer to the skillet with the sauce. Add the reserved cooking water, the parmesan and half of the chives and toss to coat. Serve topped with the lemon zest, remaining chives and more cheese.
FETTUCCINE WITH SHIITAKES IN A SAFFRON CREAM SAUCE
This recipe has the most amazing saffron sauce! Although it calls for shiitake mushrooms, I've made this with Oyster mushrooms and it is equally good, but you need to add some color. Red or orange bell pepper, julienne usually does the trick. Portobellas are good too. I always reduce the amount of heavy cream in this (by half!). If you don't have fettuccine, this is really good with bowtie pasta. An oaky chardonnay goes well with this. From Food & Wine, Pasta.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan and add the saffron. Remove from heat and let it infuse for 5 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 12 minutes, or until the pasta is just done.
- While pasta is cooking, heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, mushrooms, peppers (optional), salt and pepper. Cook until very lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and saffron and boil for 2 mintues.
- Add the cream, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- If, like me, you reduced the volume of cream, the sauce may be runny. Make a slurry with a tablespoon of flour in two tablespoons water. Stir into the sauce and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Drain the pasta. Toss it with the sauce, parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately in large pasta bowls.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, toss the mushrooms with the lemon juice and set aside.
- In a medium-size saucepan, combine the cream with the rosemary, bruising the rosemary in several places with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook gently for 15 minutes over medium-low heat.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat just until the butter foams. Stir in the onion and saute it for five to six minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer. Stir in the mushrooms and cook over medium heat for three to four minutes. Season with salt and plenty of fresh pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes and cream and leave on low heat.
- Add salt to the boiling water, then cook the fettuccine until it is al dente, approximately one minute, and drain. Transfer the pasta to a warmed serving platter, ladle on the rosemary-cream mixture and about half the grated cheese. Toss and taste, adding more pepper if needed. Divide the fettuccine equally among six heated plates, placing plenty of the mushroom-tomato mixture and a small sprig of rosemary in the center of the pasta. Serve at once. Pass the remaining cheese and a pepper mill at the table.

Steps:
- Place a large stock pot (8-quart or larger) of lightly salted water over high heat, to bring to a boil for the pasta. In a large nonstick or well-seasoned saute pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add mushroom slices. Saute until mushrooms are limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside in a bowl.
- Add diced tomato to the pan. Saute until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining oil to the pan. Add yellow peppers, and saute until limp, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add garlic to the pan and saute lightly; do not brown. Remove to bowl of peppers. Place pappardelle in pot of boiling water, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
- While pasta is cooking, add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the saute pan. Increase heat to medium-high, and add shrimp. Saute until shrimp are pink but not fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl.
- Reduce heat under pan to medium, and add wine, fish stock or clam broth, chicken stock and any juices collected in the bowls of mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers and shrimp. Stir well with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the cream and saffron, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens and turns yellow from the saffron, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved vegetables and shrimp. Heat through, and add salt and pepper to taste. Add butter, if desired, and stir gently until it has melted. Add chives, reduce heat to very low, and cover pan.
- Drain pasta well, and transfer to a warm serving bowl. Add saffron cream sauce, and toss gently to mix well. Serve immediately.

FETTUCCINE WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SAUCE
Steps:
- Place dried mushrooms in medium bowl. Add hot water and let soak until softened, about 30 minutes. Remove mushrooms from water, squeezing excess water back into bowl. Strain and reserve soaking liquid. Slice mushrooms, discarding stems.
- Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until fat renders, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Pour off half of fat. Add shallots to bacon in skillet and sauté 1 minute. Add dried and fresh mushrooms and rosemary and sauté 3 minutes. Add stock and mushroom-soaking liquid. Boil until liquid is reduced to glaze, about 10 minutes. Add half and half and simmer until beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Add pasta to large pot of boiling salted water. Cook until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, rewarm mushroom sauce over medium-low heat.
- Drain pasta. Add to sauce and stir until coated. Mix in 2/3 cup Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to plates. Sprinkle with parsley.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for shiitake mushrooms that are plump and have a meaty texture. Use a good quality saffron, as this will give the sauce a rich, golden color and a slightly bitter flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms: If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing. This will make them soggy and bland.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are browned: This will help to develop their flavor and give them a slightly chewy texture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for the sauce: This will help to prevent the sauce from scorching.
- Add the cream and saffron to the sauce slowly, stirring constantly: This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
- Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives: This will help to keep the pasta from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with shiitakes in a saffron cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sautéed shiitake mushrooms, saffron cream sauce, and al dente fettuccine is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
