Our Pairing Suggestion
The mix of flavors opens the door to all sorts of wine choices. To match the earthiness of the mushrooms, try a white based on the Chardonnay grape; a Bourgogne Blanc from France would be particularly good. To echo the black pepper, look for a red with a similar flavor, such as a Dolcetto from Italy or a Petite Sirah from California.
Recipe: Spaghetti with Shiitakes, Parmesan, and Pepper
- FAST
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps cut into thin slices
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 3/4 pound spaghetti
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
- In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, and the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced to about 1 cup, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain. Toss the spaghetti with the mushroom sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the Parmesan. Serve with more cheese.
