Steps:
- Place the dried mushrooms in small pot and cover with water or chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and steep.
- Heat a heavy pot over medium to medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan extra-virgin olive oil. When hot, add the butter and melt into the oil then add portabellas. After 6 minutes, add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaf. Saute until tender, 15 minutes, then separate and add spinach. Season the spinach mixture with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Deglaze with wine. Remove the dried mushrooms from the steeping liquid. Chop the mushrooms and stir into the sauce. Add the steeping liquid, reserving the last few spoonfuls as any grit on the mushrooms will have settled at the bottom. Stir in the milk. Simmer over low heat 20 minutes. Cool completely and store for a make-ahead meal.
- Reheat the dish over medium heat. Add a little stock or milk to loosen the sauce up again.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente. Drain the pasta and toss with sauce. Serve in shallow bowls, topped with parsley and Pecorino cheese.
GRILLED PORTOBELLO "BENEDICT"
Steps:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
- With a spoon, gently scrape out the dark inside of the mushroom caps, being careful not to break the cap. Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the mushrooms over a medium-high heat, until they are tender and their juices begin to release, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, top side down.
- On the same grill or grill pan, cook the Canadian bacon over medium-high heat, until they are warm and grill marks have formed, about 30 seconds on each side. Place 1 piece of the bacon into each of the mushroom caps.
- Separate the whites of 4 of the eggs into a medium bowl and discard the yolks or save them for another use. Add the remaining 4 whole eggs to the bowl with the whites, add the water and whisk until combined. Cook the eggs in a medium nonstick skillet over a medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are done, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/4 of the scrambled eggs on top of the Canadian bacon in each the mushroom caps. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of pesto over each and top with some basil ribbons and 1 teaspoon of Parmesan.

Tips:
- Choose the right portobello mushrooms: Look for large, firm mushrooms with intact caps. Avoid mushrooms with blemishes or bruises.
- Properly clean the mushrooms: Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe away any dirt or debris from the mushrooms. Do not rinse the mushrooms with water, as this can make them soggy.
- Cook the mushrooms thoroughly: Portobello mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender and slightly browned. Undercooked mushrooms can be tough and chewy.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give your eggs Benedict a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- Make sure the eggs are cooked to your liking: Eggs Benedict is traditionally served with poached eggs, but you can also fry or scramble the eggs if you prefer. Just be sure to cook the eggs until they are cooked through to your liking.
- Choose a good quality hollandaise sauce: Hollandaise sauce is a key component of eggs Benedict. If you're making your own hollandaise, be sure to use fresh ingredients and whisk the sauce constantly until it is thick and creamy.
- Serve eggs Benedict immediately: Eggs Benedict is best served immediately after it is made. The hollandaise sauce will start to break down if it sits for too long.
