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

Directions

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.

    First I used Giada's recipe for homemade pasta and made fettucini....then I did this sauce for it. WOW! Amazingly good! My changes: Vidalia onion in place of red onion; thyme in place of marjoram; used baby portobellas and button mushrooms; 1/2 and 1/2 in place of heavy cream; chicken stock in place of the mushroom stock. I added about 1/4 cup of the grated parm to the sauce to thicken it and I added lemon zest at the very end to the sauce. Again, this is great. But it makes me wonder what it would have been like if I hadn't exchanged ingredients.... Hmmm....
