Method
- Soak the porcini mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms from the soaking liquid, then coarsely chop and set aside. Reserve 50ml of the soaking liquid for the sauce.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the pancetta for 3-4 minutes, or until crispy. Add the shallot, mushrooms, garlic and thyme and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Add the cream, reserved soaking liquid and porcini mushrooms and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the sauce develops a thicker consistency.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions to be ready at the same time as the sauce.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the mushroom sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve topped with the grated Parmesan cheese.
