A few details about the recipe

Chanterelles are an ultimate delicacy when it comes to mushrooms. In this recipe, I added directions for both fresh and frozen Chanterelles. These delicious mushrooms are used in two textures: crispy and mixed into a rich creamy sauce that coats long-shaped pasta beautifully.

Pasta: I used Linguine, because I love them, but any long shape pasta will work wonders! Tagliatelle, Fettucine, Tagliolini, you name it!

White wine for the sauce: make sure to use a dry white wine, with no residual sugar. A dry Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay will be perfect.

This recipe is great when having people over as the sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. You just have to reheat it while the pasta is cooking!

🍷Wine Pairing for Chanterelle Mushrooms Pasta


The Match

Pinot Noir!

Lightly tannic and remarkably supple in texture, Pinot Noir usually displays complex aromas of red berries, violet, and dried flowers, and an earthiness that will complement the delicate aromas and flavors of the Chanterelles without being overpowering.

WINE APPELLATION SUGGESTIONS

  • Volnay (Burgundy, France)
  • Chambolle-Musigny (Burgundy, France)
  • Pinot Noir from Sonoma (California, USA)

  3. Set aside.

Make the sauce

  1. In a sauté pan, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter over high flame. Add the Chanterelles and sauté with a pinch of salt until they become slightly golden. Remove half of the Chanterelles from the sauté pan and set aside.
  2. Add the shallots and garlic to the rest of the Chanterelles, and sauté until the shallots and garlic become translucent.
  3. Then, add the white wine and stir for 2 minutes, until the alcohol evaporates.

  8. Immediately add the cooked pasta and the remaining half of the sautéed Chanterelles to the skillet and stir using kitchen tongs until everything is well combined.

Nim Keys

  1. The technic of putting frozen Chanterelles into boiling water (call blanching) will remove the bitterness that can sometimes appear when freezing raw mushrooms.
  2.  Mixing some Chanterelles in the sauce amplifies their delicate flavor. Try not to skip this part!
