Mushroom Mixture

Method

Prepare the Mushroom Mixture

  1. 1

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 2

    Add the Mushrooms

    Add the Frondosa Farms mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have released their moisture.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the thinly sliced black truffle, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from heat.

Cook the Pasta

  1. 5

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Use about 1 tablespoon of salt for every 4 liters of water.

  2. 6

    Cook the Cocoa Mafalde

    Add the cocoa mafalde pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

  3. 7

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the pasta and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Combine Pasta and Mushroom Mixture

    In the skillet with the mushroom mixture, add the drained pasta. If the mixture seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the cocoa mafalde in bowls, topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately!
