Fresh Cavatelli with Wild Mushrooms

This pasta dish is comfort food in a bowl

Yield: 2

Ingredients:

4 cups Fresh Cavatelli (store bought)
1 cup Seasonal Mushrooms, sautéed
2 tbsp Butter
12 oz Parmesan Broth
1 tbsp Basil leaves, torn
1 tbsp Parsley leaves, torn
1/2 tsp minced Garlic
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil

INGREDIENTS FOR PARMESAN BROTH:
1 quart Chicken Stock
1 piece of Parmesan Rinds, about 4 oz
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Salt to taste

Method:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARMESAN BROTH:
1. Simmer chicken stock with parmesan rind, on very low heat for approximately 45 minutes.
2. Season with salt and pepper.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PASTA:
1. Heat about ½ tablespoon of olive oil on high in a pan and sautéed the mushrooms for 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
2. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan and continue sautéing until all water evaporates and mushrooms start to brown. Drain off excess oil.
3. Boil fresh cavatelli in rolling boiling water for approximately 4.5 minutes, until cavatelli floats to the top of the water surface (or follow packet instructions)
4. Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a pan (large enough to fit the cavatelli in a single layer) over high heat.
5. When butter begins to foam, add the cavatelli without overcrowding the pan.
6. Toss cavatelli, allowing it to brown nicely. Approximately 3 - 5 minutes. Add in minced garlic and allow it to cook briefly.
7. Add mushrooms, toss in well. Add parmesan broth, bring back to simmer.
8. Add ½ tbsp of parmesan and herbs. Cook together briefly. Approximately 2 - 3 minutes.
9. Plate and sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
