Pasta with Mushrooms

Another busy week has passed, this time also because I had a cold for a few days I didn't have much time to keep my blog up to date. We had a lot of healthy food all week, just to help recovering. Also I made a very nice pasta with mushrooms. The ingredients you need for 2 adults and one child are:

  • 10 gr dried porcini mushrooms
  • 200 gr. chestnut mushrooms in small pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • A bit of dried spanish pepper
  • Fresh thyme
  • 1 tea spoon truffle oil 
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh chopped parsley
  • 250 gr pasta (any pasta is good)
  • 100 gr. huttenkase

Cook the pasta in water with salt following the instructions of the package.

Put the dried porcini mushrooms in a cup with boiling water, leave for a while, after that add the leaves of the thyme. In a pan bake in oil the garlic, the spanish pepper and the mushrooms, then add the porcini mushrooms mix into the pan and let cook for a few minutes.

When ready put the mushrooms into a blender and mix them very fine, put them back into the pan, 2 soup spoons of the cooking water from the pasta and the truffle oil, add some salt and pepper, let it cook slowly for a few minutes again.

When the pasta is ready add to the mushrooms and a bit more of the water from the pasta in case is too dry. Then the lemon zest with the parsley, scoop all well, adding the huttenkase. Serve with a fresh salad and some bread. Absolutely delicious and easy!
