Description

Creamy mascarpone, crispy bacon, and earthy chanterelles make this fall pasta a delight. Simple to make, yet elegant enough for a dinner party.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 14 oz (400 g) Pasta
  • 2 cups (300 g) Chanterelles
  • 10 leaves Sage Leaves
  • 1/4 cups (50 g) Bacon
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves
  • 7 tbsp (100 ml) Vegetable Stock
  • 3/4 cups (200 g) Mascarpone Cheese
  • Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Ingredients
  2. Rinse and gently clean the chanterelles. Break them into desired sizes.
  3. Slice the sage leaves. In a frying pan over medium heat, brown the diced bacon.
  4. Cooking the Dish
  5. Follow the package instructions to cook the pasta until al dente.
  6. Add the chanterelles to the frying pan with bacon. Roast for 6-8 minutes, adding olive oil if needed. Then, add sage and garlic and roast for another 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the vegetable stock and mascarpone cheese. Allow the cheese to melt, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the frying pan. Mix well with the sauce and mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use pancetta instead of bacon.
  • If chanterelles are unavailable, cremini or shiitake mushrooms make a good substitute.
  • To prevent the sauce from becoming too thick, add a tablespoon of pasta water before stirring in the mascarpone.
