Tortellini with Wild Mushrooms and
Green Garlic
This is so easy to make in minutes and
elegant enough to make for guests. Wild mushrooms may be purchased dehydrated
and kept on the pantry shelf, reconstituted and used with great success
in this recipe. Add a bit of white wine at the end of the mushroom saute
for added flavor.
2 8-ounce packages fresh tortellini
1 pound wild mushrooms (fresh preferred)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup green garlic, finely chopped
½ cup pasta water or white wine
Prepare tortellini according to package directions.
Clean and roughly chop wild mushrooms. Heat butter and oil to very hot
and saute mushrooms very quickly. Add green garlic and pasta water or
wine and simmer for several minutes to make the sauce. Add pasta to
pan, toss and cook a minute longer. Serve in warmed soup plates garnished
with several bits of sautéed mushroom and a curl of fresh parmesan
cheese.
