Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces tagliatelle (or similar flat pasta, like fettuccine)
• 8 ounces chanterelle mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 4 ounces white wine
• Handful of parsley, finely chopped
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil

Directions:

1. Rinse mushrooms under the faucet then soak in water for 30 minutes. Drain and discard water.
2. Boil water for pasta. When it boils, add salt to the water, then add tagliatelle and cook according to package directions.
