HOW TO MAKE PORCINI MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Porcini mushrooms are a type of edible mushrooms available in the autumn season and are prized for their mild and sweet flavour. They are characterized by an orange colour in their cap, which has a velvety texture, and a completely edible and rich white fleshy part. We recommend buying fresh quality mushrooms so the sauce has the right consistency and the flavour is to your liking.
• The cleaning of the mushrooms is key to a delicious sauce, any traces of accumulated dirt could ruin the whole recipe. The first thing you have to do is wet a paper towel with a little water and gently start removing impurities from all sides of each of the mushrooms until these are left completely clean. It is important that this step is accomplish just before cooking the mushrooms, if you want to save them for later a good way to preserve them is to keep them in the freezer.
• Once the mushrooms are very clean you must dice them into a small size with the help of a knife. Then place a pan on the hob with a squirt of olive oil and sauté the mushrooms so they become slightly golden on both sides. It is important that the mushrooms become golden but not burnt.
• The next step for making sauce with porcini mushrooms is to add the broth to the pan and, using a wooden spoon, stir to make the cooked mushrooms soak it in. Now is the time to add a little salt and black pepper over the mushrooms to add a touch of flavour.
• Put the heat to medium and when you see that the stock has decreased slightly you should gradually add the cream stirring constantly to avoid lumps appearing. Let it all simmer for a few minutes, see how the sauce begins to thicken, and when you get the density that is to your liking remove from heat. If you notice that it has become too thick you can always add a little more broth to return it to a more liquid consistency.
• Finally, you can serve the porcini sauce as you you prepared it, with pieces of porcini mushrooms intact, or crush these in a blender to make it completely smooth and soft. This recipe is perfect for seasoning meats, fish and pasta dishes, so do not hesitate to try and give your meals a different touch.

TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Tagliatelle: Mound flour on a clean work surface or in a large bowl. Make a well in center. Add egg, yolks, oil, and warm water to well. Using a fork and stirring outward from center, gradually incorporate flour into egg mixture until a ragged dough forms.
• Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. (Or combine ingredients in a mixer bowl and knead with the dough-hook attachment 8 to 10 minutes.) Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until soft and pliable, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Cut dough into 4 portions. Keeping remaining portions covered with plastic, shape one into a rectangle. With a pasta roller on its largest setting (1 on a KitchenAid stand-mixer attachment), run dough through roller. Fold dough in half and run through largest setting again. Repeat once or twice more. Turn machine to next setting and pass through roller once.
• Continue passing dough through, lowering setting each time, until dough has run through the smallest setting (8 on KitchenAid attachment). Transfer to a tray generously dusted with semolina (or all-purpose) flour; dust top with more. Repeat process with remaining portions of dough.
• Attach a tagliatelle/fettuccine cutter to a pasta machine. Roll each sheet through cutter. Hang in a single layer on a pasta rack or transfer to a tray dusted with semolina and let dry, 30 minutes. (Pasta can be made up to 1 day ahead: Once dry, loosely twirl handfuls of pasta into 6 "nests," generously dust with more semolina, and refrigerate in a single layer in an airtight container.)
• Porcini Butter Sauce: Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add oil, butter, and garlic. When butter melts and garlic sizzles, add mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds more.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente,2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Add 2/3 cup pasta water to skillet with mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Add tagliatelle, tossing until sauce thickens slightly and evenly coats pasta, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Add parsley and half of cheese, tossing to combine. Add more pasta water as needed, a little at a time, until sauce evenly clings to pasta again. Serve topped with remaining cheese, pepper flakes, and a drizzle of oil.

MUSHROOM MEDALLIONE PASTA WITH PORCINI SAUCE

Steps:

• For the mushroom filling: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat, and then saute the garlic until golden, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, onions, some sea salt and pepper and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the white wine and porcini powder, and let reduce 30 seconds. Transfer to a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are minced, and then pour into a bowl and fold in the ricotta, parsley and Romano. For assembling the medallione: Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons cold water to create an egg wash. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mushroom filling into each pasta square and brush the edges with some egg wash. Place another pasta square on top, pressing the edges together with your fingers, and then seal the square shut with a fork. Boil the medallione in salted water until al dente, 2 minutes, and then place in a bowl. Ladle some Demi-Glace on top, and garnish with shaved Romano and coarsely cracked pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the veal bones in a roasting pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast until browned, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, and then transfer to a large pot. Deglaze the roasting pan with water, scraping up the browned bits, and pour into the pot. Add the parsley, peppercorns, carrots, bay leaves, onions, thyme, celery and leeks and top off with cold water. Throw in the tomato paste and mix. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and then turn the heat down to medium-low and let simmer until reduced to 1/4 of the original volume, 10 to 12 hours. Strain the broth, and then ladle through a wire mesh sieve into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook to reduce, 2 to 4 hours, skimming off the top every 30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, mix in the sage.

TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil.
• Clean the fresh mushrooms by cutting off the end of the stalk. It would be better not to rinse with water, given that the fungus absorbs it. You can use a small brush to remove any soil, or a damp cloth.
• Cut the mushrooms into pieces
• Fry the peeled garlic cloves in the olive oil, then remove them when golden and add the mushrooms.
• Cook them for about 3-4 minutes until they start to brown. If using frozen mushrooms add after the fresh ones have browned a little
• Add wine and nepitella or thyme, increase the heat and cook until the alcohol has evaporated
• Reduce the heat and add salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook for about another 10-15 minutes. Lower the heat once mushrooms are cooked through and add the butter. When the butter has melted remove the pan from the heat.
• Cook the pasta in salted boiling water, remove a glass of the pasta cooking water to be used later and then drain and add the pasta to the pan with the mushrooms and butter.
• Toss everything together over a low heat. The pasta absorbs liquid very quickly so if it looks too dry, add a little of the pasta cooking water at a time until you get the right creaminess.
• Serve immediately with grated parmigiano or vegetarian parmesan as required.

CLASSIC FILET WITH PORCINI-MARSALA PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the dried porcini mushrooms and chicken stock in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat off and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull the mushrooms out of the liquid, reserving the stock, letting any grit from the mushrooms settle to the bottom of the saucepan. Slice the mushrooms into strips and set aside.
• Thoroughly pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Drizzle a light coating of oil over each side of steak. Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Insert an instant read digital thermometer into the side of one of the steaks, set it to sound its alarm at 100 degrees F. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan, this helps create a great crust on the steaks.
• Place the steaks in the pan, leaving room in between each steak. Cook the steaks without moving for 3 minutes. Using tongs, flip the steaks and cook until the thermometer goes off, about another 4 minutes for rare, 5 minutes for medium-rare and 6 minutes for medium. Remove the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes while making the pan sauce.
• After removing the steaks from the skillet, add the porcini mushrooms, garlic and shallots. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the Marsala wine and the reserved mushroom liquid, being careful to let any grit stay in the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce by half. Turn off the heat and whisk in the butter until it is melted and sauce has thickened. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon sauce over steaks, top with the chopped chives. Serve immediately with the Potato Fennel Puree.
• Place the fennel and potatoes into a medium saucepan and cover with the milk and cream. Add the bay leaf and season with a good amount of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender or until a knife inserts into center of a potato chunk with no resistance, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Once the vegetables are tender, strain them out of the pan using a spider or a slotted spoon. Transfer them into a food processor, add the butter and start the pureeing process. Add just enough of the cooking liquid until the puree becomes smooth and creamy. Season with more salt and pepper.

TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• To prepare the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms , start with fresh pasta: on a pastry board (or in a bowl) pour the flour, create the classic crater shape and pour the previously beaten eggs into the center 1 . It's very important to respect the recommended amount of eggs to obtain a consistent dough, neither too sticky nor too dry. Stir with a fork starting from the center, pushing the flour in by hand 2 . When the dough is more compact, work with your hands for about 10 minutes 3 , kneading vigorously.
• Give the dough a ball shape 4 , wrap it with transparent wrap 5 and let it rest at room temperature 6 , in a cool place away from heat sources, for about 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, clean the porcini mushrooms: remove the dirt, scraping the stalk with a small knife 7 , then if they are very dirty you can clean them with a slightly dampened cloth. A solution not very recommended is to quickly pass them under cold running water and then dry them carefully with a cloth 8 . If you should opt for this solution, do it very quickly so that the mushrooms do not absorb too much water and therefore lose their taste and texture. Then cut them into slices 9 .
• In a large frying pan, put in the butter and melt it over very low heat; when it has almost completely melted, pour in the oil 10 , leave to heat slightly over low heat and then pour in the porcini mushrooms (11-12) and a whole clove of garlic, cleaned or chopped if you prefer (optional).
• Season with salt and pepper 13 to taste, then let the mushrooms cook for about 10 minutes 14 . When finished cooking you can remove the garlic clove if you have added it 15 . Once prepared, keep them warm. Then mince the parsley very finely and set it aside.
• Once the necessary rest time has passed, take the dough and divide it into pieces 16 ; lightly flour the piece to put through the machine to roll the dough and keep the remaining dough on the side covered with plastic wrap. Insert the first piece into the machine 17 , passing from the largest to the penultimate thickness in order to obtain the right thickness of the sheet 18 .
• When you get to the last step of the machine, pass the dough strip again 19 , in fact you will need two steps at this thickness to get the dough through well 19 . Lightly flour the work surface with some semolina flour and roll out the first sheet; proceed in the same way with another piece of dough, until the various sheets are finished, sprinkle the sheets with semolina and let them dry for 5 minutes per side. Fold one of the shorter sides of each sheet of pasta inwards 20 (it will be used to create a sort of "tongue" to pull up the tagliatelle more easily, once ready) and then roll the pasta on itself 21 .
• With a sharp, lightly floured knife (to keep the blade from sticking to the fresh pasta), start making the tagliatelle, cutting at a thickness of about 1/4'' (6.5-7 mm) 22 . Then lift each roll to make your nests of noodles, to be placed as you go on a part of the work surface lightly floured with semolina flour 23 or on a tray. Bring the water to a boil and salt to taste; cook the tagliatelle for 3-4 minutes 24 .
• Then drain them 25 directly into the seasoning while preserving the cooking water. Set the heat to low under the pan with the seasoning and mix the ingredients to combine them. Add the finely chopped parsley 26 and, if needed, add a ladle of pasta cooking water to prevent the tagliatelle from being too dry. Then serve the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms as soon as they are ready 27 !
