Foglie di Carciofo Pasta with Mushrooms and Truffle Oil
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients (Serves 4)
250 gr. (8.8oz.) Foglie di Carciofo (pasta similar to orecchiette vaguely shaped as a carciofo [Italian for artichoke] leaf)
1/2 Red onion sliced Julienne style
1 Stalk celery, chopped
2 Mini sweet pepper, or 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
10 Oyster mushrooms, sliced
1 Tsp. Sesame seeds
1 Tsp. Dried oregano, crushed
1 Tbs. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• Coarse sea salt, pepper, and truffle flavored oil to taste
Preparation
• In a frying pan, sauté onion in EVOO on medium low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden.
• Add celery, mini peppers, stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add sliced mushrooms, sesame seeds, oregano, salt and pepper to taste, then cook for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, bring salted water to a boil in a deep pot and cook pasta (10-12 minutes).
• Drain pasta al dente, that is, slightly underdone according to average American taste, and add it to the sauce into frying pan.
• Toss gently to allow sauce to coat pasta well and serve after drizzling truffle flavored oil to taste on individual plates.

Comments
• I like oyster mushrooms and the Foglie di Carciofo type of pasta. The combination of these two ingredients with the addition of flavorful truffle oil is supremely gratifying.
