Mushroom pasta

The best mushroom powder is made from porcini (cèpes); it is available from D’Artagnan (800-327-8246) or other suppliers of mushrooms. You can make your own powder by grinding any dried mushrooms as fine as possible in a spice mill or coffee grinder.

For sauce, try braised veal with its juices, or olive oil cooked with garlic, parsley, and mushrooms, or a mushroom-cream sauce.
