Pappardelle with Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms (about 1/2 ounce)
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 8 ounces uncooked pappardelle pasta or bucatini
  • 3 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 2 (4-ounce) packages exotic mushroom blend, sliced or coarsely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

Cherry Butter

Prepared this way, the jars have a shelf life of 18 months to 2 years, and require no special attention. A side benefit is that your house will smell wonderful while it is cooking - much better than potpourri!  You can also skip the last canning steps, and just store it in your refrigerator (2 or 3 months) or freezer (indefinitely).
