Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 lb fettuccine; 1 1/2 cups dry white wine; 1 teaspoon saffron thread, lightly packed; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 4 tablespoons butter; 4 shallots, chopped (or use red onion); 1/2 red bell pepper, julienne (optional); 1 1/2 lbs shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 2 cups heavy cream (I reduce this to 1 cup or less); 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (I use more); 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

Servings: persons

3/4 lb fettuccine
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 teaspoon saffron thread, lightly packed
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
4 shallots, chopped (or use red onion)
1/2 red bell pepper, julienne (optional)
1 1/2 lbs shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups heavy cream (I reduce this to 1 cup or less)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (I use more)
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2
Meanwhile, bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan and add the saffron. Remove from heat and let it infuse for 5 minutes.
3
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 12 minutes, or until the pasta is just done.
4
While pasta is cooking, heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, mushrooms, peppers (optional), salt and pepper. Cook until very lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
5
Add the wine and saffron and boil for 2 mintues.
6
Add the cream, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
7
If, like me, you reduced the volume of cream, the sauce may be runny. Make a slurry with a tablespoon of flour in two tablespoons water. Stir into the sauce and simmer until slightly thickened.
8
Drain the pasta. Toss it with the sauce, parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately in large pasta bowls.
