DRUNKEN MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Place the dried porcinis in a small saucepan and add just enough stock to cover. Bring to a low boil over high heat then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until mushrooms reconstitute, 2-5 minutes. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, two turns of the pan, over medium-high and melt butter into the oil. Working in two batches, add the fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Return all the cooked mushrooms to the skillet; add the shallots, garlic, herbs and lemon zest to the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots soften, about 2 minutes. Salt the boiling water, add the pasta and cook until a few minutes shy of al dente, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the porcinis to a work surface; chop and add to the sauce. Pour in the soaking liquid, leaving any grit behind. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce; toss over medium-low until the pasta is al dente and absorbs some of the sauce, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon juice and 1 cup cheese. Drizzle with EVOO to marry the sauce to the pasta, top with the chives and serve.

Steps:

• Pour the entire bottle of wine into a large pot. Add water and fill the pot up as you would to cook pasta. Bring the wine and water to a boil over high heat. When the liquids boil, add salt and the pasta and cook to al dente. Heads up: you will ladle out some cooking liquid for the pasta sauce before draining the pasta.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan, then chop and add the pancetta. Brown the pieces until they are golden at the edges and transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the mushrooms to the EVOO in the same skillet, season them with the chopped rosemary, and cook until they are deeply golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO to the center of the skillet. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the EVOO and cook them for a minute or so, then toss the mushrooms together with the garlic. Add the greens to the pan and season them with salt, pepper, and the nutmeg. When the greens have wilted down, add a couple of ladles of the starchy pasta cooking liquid to the pan and cook for a minute to reduce it a little.
• Drain the pasta well and add it to the skillet. Add the pancetta and a handful of cheese to the pan. Toss the pasta for a minute or so to allow it to absorb the remaining liquid. Adjust the seasonings and serve. Pass the extra cheese at the table.
