Pasta and Faux Foie Gras

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ridged pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

2

Prepare the Faux Foie Gras

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Add Mushrooms and Nuts

Stir in the finely chopped mushrooms and walnuts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.

4

Incorporate Figs and Marsala

Add the chopped dried figs and pour in the Marsala wine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the mixture to thicken.

5

Add Vegetable Broth

Pour in the vegetable broth and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6

Combine with Pasta

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, ensuring it is well coated in the sauce. If the mixture is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

7

Finish with Truffle Oil

Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta and toss to combine. If using, add the shaved black truffle on top.

8

Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, pairing with a glass of 2019 wine.
