INGREDIENTS

  • 5 piece Dried Porcini Mushrooms
  • 1 cup Tap Water
  • 3 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Stick
  • 1 tbsp Light Olive Oil
  • 10 oz Mushroom Pieces and Stems
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 serving Whole Grain Penne Pasta
  • 0 1/4 cup Sour Cream (Cultured)
  • 0 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 0 1/4 cup Parsley

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cover porcini with 1 cup boiling water. Let sit 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over moderate heat, melt butter in olive oil. Add white mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until almost dry and mushrooms are tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
  4. While pasta is cooking, finish sauce: Remove porcini mushrooms from soaking liquid; rinse, chop and add to skillet. Place a coffee filter in a small strainer and pour mushroom soaking liquid through it. Add strained liquid to skillet.
  5. Cook mushroom mixture over high heat until mostly evaporated but still saucy, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, paprika and parsley. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Toss with pasta and mushrooms, serve immediately.
