probably needs no argument
The recipe came from Saveur, which I find never seems to come up with a dud, but it was @onekade who clued me into it, with this tweet from a few weeks back.
It sounded terrific, it looked terrific, and it was terrific. It was also very easy to put together. If you have access to some good mushrooms, there is absolutely no reason not to make this special dinner.
- this is the recipe, which I halved. By the way, the honey was described as optional, but I would seriously recommend using it. My ingredients included a rich (12% fat) unsalted butter, Kerrygold Pure Irish, from Westside Market; a mix of shiitake and cremini mushrooms from Bulich Mushroom Farm; thyme from Hawthorne Valley Farm; Rocambole Calabria garlic from Keith’s Farm; 9 ounces of a L’antica Madia pappardelle from Eataly; a local artisanal ricotta, Liuzzi Angelini, also from Eataly; shelled walnuts from I no longer remember where; and some extraordinarily rich Apple State Hilltop Family Farm pure buckwheat honey (a perfect cooking honey), which I believe I had purchased some time back in the Greenmarket
