Categories     Creamy Pasta Sauce

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
2 cups hot water, or as needed
1 stick butter
¼ cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
⅔ cup heavy cream
⅔ cup dry white wine
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak until plumped up, about 30 minutes.
  • Pour mushrooms and soaking liquid into a coffee filter or fine mesh sieve set over a bowl. Save soaking liquid for sauce. Rinse rehydrated mushrooms well to remove any grit, then coarsely chop.

Moisten the mixture with a few tablespoons reserved soaking water. Cook, stirring a few times, until the moisture has largely evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cream and wine and stir to combine. Cook at barely a simmer until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
