Pasta with Wild Mushroom Sauce
Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck, 2004

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig marjoram, plus more for garnish
1/2 pound assorted wild mushrooms (golden chanterelle, shiitake, cremini, oyster,
porcini, etc.), trimmed and sliced
1 cup mushroom stock, recipe follows
1 cup heavy cream
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound bucatini

Grated Parmesan

Instructions
In a large stock pot, bring salted water to a boil.

In a large saute pan, over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic
and saute for 1 minute, just until beginning to turn translucent. Add the marjoram
and saute 1 more minute. Add the mushrooms and saute until they begin to brown and
release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the mushroom stock and reduce 5
minutes. Add the cream and reduce about 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to
thicken. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and quickly toss with mushroom sauce. Sprinkle
with Parmesan cheese. Divide onto serving plates and serve immediately garnished

with marjoram sprigs.

Mushroom Stock:
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup mushroom trimmings, stems, or pieces

Combine the chicken stock and mushrooms in a saucepan.
Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Strain.
