Ingredients
- 6ounces ruffled pasta (radiatore), tricolor or plain
- 6ounces fresh morels, cut into approximately the size of the cooked pasta
- 2tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1small onion, thinly sliced
- 1small red or green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ¼teaspoon salt
- 1teaspoon sugar
- 1tablespoon soy sauce
- 1tablespoon arrowroot mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
Preparation
- Step 1
Bring about 6 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil, and add the ruffled pasta. Cook until it is al dente, about 8 minutes.
- Step 2
While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the mushrooms: in a large skillet over a medium-high flame, heat the oil and add the onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the morels, salt, sugar and soy sauce. Stir well, and simmer for 1 minute. Add the arrowroot mixture, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute more. Adjust the salt to taste.
- Step 3
Drain the pasta, and transfer it to a serving bowl. Add morels and sauce, and mix gently. Serve immediately.

If making again I would dispense with the arrowroot solution and instead add the pasta, slightly undercooked, to the saute pan, along with 1/2 to 1 cup of pasta water (or half pasta water/half mushroom broth) to give it some creaminess.
