Smoked Mushrooms And Tasso Over Orecchiette

  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound orecchiette, cooked just prior to serving
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped tasso
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (white parts only)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped shallots
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 pound Smoked Mushrooms
  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (recommended: Emeril's Kick it Up Hot Red Sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus 3 more tablespoons for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onions (green parts), for garnish

Directions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook until just al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, return to the pot, and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tasso and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the green onion whites, the shallots, and garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the smoked mushrooms, stir well, and cook for 1 minute. Add the cream and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, 1/2 cup cheese, and cold butter and stir well.
  • Divide the pasta among 4 or 6 plates and spoon the sauce evenly over the top. Garnish with the green onions and remaining 3 tablespoons cheese and serve immediately.
