Ingredients
  

  • 300 g (10.5 oz) chanterelles, cleaned and cut into smaller pieces
  • 400 g (14 oz) linguine pasta
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 5 sprigs thyme
  • 100 ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine
  • 100 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable broth
  • 200 ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
  • 25 g (about 1/4 cup) parmesan, freshly grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Heat a large, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add the chanterelles and cook them without fat until they release their liquid and the water evaporates.
  • Add the butter to the pan with the chanterelles and let it melt.
  • Add the thyme, shallot, and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it reduce.
  • Add the vegetable broth and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and add the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce becomes creamy and slightly thickened.
  • While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water.
  • Remove the thyme sprigs.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy chanterelle sauce.
  • Stir in the freshly grated parmesan and mix gently.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. If needed, adjust the consistency with a little of the reserved pasta water.
  • Serve the pasta on plates and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley and some extra grated parmesan.
  • Enjoy!
