Number of ingredients: 10
Ingredients:
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (about 6 slices)
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms (such as chanterelles, maitake, oyster, crimini, and/or shiitake), torn into bite-size pieces

  2. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in same pot over high. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, 5–8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shallots and 1 tsp. thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until shallots are translucent and softened, about 2 minutes. Add stock and reduce heat to low.

How to cook:
  1. Boil
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Cook
  4. Heat a large, high-sided sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add 2 prosciutto slices to the pan, in a single layer, and cook until they curl and are lightly browned underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip prosciutto and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Move prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining 2 slices.
  5. Brown
  6. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into the pan. Add half the mushrooms in a single layer (try to get as many cut-side down as you can), cook undisturbed until browned well on the bottom but not fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and repeat with remaining mushrooms.
  7. Boil
  8. Meanwhile, add pasta to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute less than the package instructions for al dente, about 9 minutes.
  9. Season
  10. Once the second batch of mushrooms is browned on the bottom, return the rest of the mushrooms to the pan and add the garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, until mushrooms are fragrant and just tender, about 2 minutes more.
  11. Simmer
  12. Pour wine into the pan and simmer. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until some but not all of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  13. Stir
  14. When the pasta is ready, reserve 3/4 cup of pasta water using a measuring cup, then drain the pasta. Add pasta and reserved pasta water to the pan, bring to a simmer. Cook, tossing and stirring until pasta is al dente and the sauce thickens and coats the pasta, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  15. Serve
  16. Break prosciutto into small pieces and stir half into the pasta. Serve garnished with remaining prosciutto and shaved Parmesan.
