Instructions:
-
Begin by combining boiling water and porcini mushrooms in a bowl. Cover the bowl and let it stand for 30 minutes to allow the mushrooms to rehydrate.
-
After 30 minutes, drain the mushrooms and rinse them. Coarsely chop the rehydrated porcini mushrooms and set them aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the prosciutto and sauté for about 3 minutes or until it becomes tender.
-
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and continue sautéing for another 3 minutes, or until the onion is tender.
-
Stir in the rehydrated porcini mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, button mushrooms, fresh lemon rind, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook this mixture for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
-
Pour in the chicken broth and dry red wine, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Allow the mixture to come to a boil and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this cornstarch mixture to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring the sauce back to a boil and let it cook for 1 minute, or until it thickens slightly.
-
Finally, add the cooked cavatappi pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until it’s evenly coated.
-
Serve your Mushroom Sauce for Pasta hot and enjoy the delightful flavors! 🍽️😊
