Ingredients
Serves 4
500g medium spaghetti
60g parmesan, coarsely grated
salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
800g fresh and tight honey fungus mushrooms
8 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 fresh red chilli, sliced
2 tbsp coarsely chopped parsley
Method
"It is always around the 15th October that, seemingly out of nowhere, the honey fungus suddenly appears in the woods. I am always very excited at the sight of a colony, still with closed caps, very tightly packed in bunches at the foot of the trees or sometimes just shooting out of the grass. When raw they have a strange smell, but once cooked they are delicious, and also lose any toxicity."
Method
1. Clean the honey fungus, and remove the toughest part of its stem. Boil for 3-4 minutes in slightly salted water, then drain well.
2. Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for 6-7 minutes until al dente.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan and add the garlic and chilli. Before the garlic browns, add the mushrooms and the parsley. Cook for a few minutes only.
4. Drain the pasta well, and mix it with the mushroom sauce. Add the Parmesan and enjoy!
