Tagliatelle ai Funghi Porcini

On the weekend, I saw some beautiful cêpes (porcini) at a market, but hadn't made my weekly meal plan yet and didn't know I was going to want them. And I was trying to avoid filling the fridge with impulse buys. When we shopped this week, there were no cêpes at the grocery. But there were shiitakes, which are pretty tasty in themselves.

This is one of the simplest sauces ever. Cream is boiled up on the side. Unadorned mushrooms are quickly sautéed, S&Ped then tossed with the cream and pasta and topped with shredded parmesan. Deelicious!

I made a half recipe. Used my microplane to grate half the parmesan by weight. The volume was probably twice what was asked for the full recipe. We used a lot of it on the pasta and added the rest to the salad that followed.

Altogether a good recipe. Will try to keep this in mind for when I see more cêpes.
