- 10 gram dried porcini mushrooms
- 100 gram butter
- 300 gram swiss brown mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 300 gram button mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 3 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 1/2 cup (375ml) cream

Method
Mixed mushroom pasta
- 1Place the porcini in a small heatproof bowl; cover with ½ cup (125ml) boiling water. Stand for 10 minutes. Drain porcini over a jug; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.
- 2Melt the butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms, cook over high heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Add garlic; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- 3Add porcini and the reserved liquid then cream. Bring to the boil; reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in parmesan; season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 4Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender; drain. Add the pasta to the mushroom mixture in the pan with half the parsley; toss gently to combine.
- 5Serve topped with remaining parsley and extra parmesan.
