Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pasta Vegetarian

 

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

16 ounces pasta -- your choice

5 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

1 teaspoon Black Truffle Oil

1 large leek

4 garlic cloves -- sliced

1/2 pound fresh Black Trumpet Mushrooms

2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

salt

 

*Substitutions:

Leek: 2 bunches scallions

Mushrooms: 2 ounces of dried black trumpet or any richly flavored mushroom such

as Morels or Cepes.

 

Preparation Leeks: Cut into 1/2-inch pieces including the tender greens

 

Pasta: Prepare your favorite pasta to al dente. This recipe works equally well

with angelhair, shells or penne.

 

Mushrooms: If you are using fresh Black Trumpets clean carefully ripping open

the trumpets to make sure any remaining bits of the forest are removed. Cut

roughly into large shreds. If using dried mushrooms rehydrate by covering with

hot water for 10 minutes. Roughly cut softened mushrooms if needed. Retain 1 cup

of liquid to add to sauce.

 

Sauce: Pour the Olive Oil into a sauté pan and heat over medium heat for about

30 seconds. Sauté the leeks for about 2 minutes until softened. Add the garlic

and sauté for another 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring

frequently, until the mushrooms are wilted and the liquid they have given off

has evaporated. Add the Balsamic Vinegar, stir well, and season with salt to

taste.

 

Pour sauce and mushrooms over cooked pasta. Drizzle with Black Truffle Oil.

Serve with a fresh garnish.
