Porcinis are a wild mushroom near and dear to the culinary heart of Italy.  They have a rich, meaty flavor that pairs exceptionally well with parmesan cheese and cream, making them an ideal flavor for pasta.

Almost all other dried pasta’s semolina flour has had its germ removed.  The germ gives wheat a lot of flavor and vitamins, but also contains healthy fats which make it perishable.  Pastificio Morelli, a family run pasta business, has the 150 year artisanal expertise necessary to reintroduce the germ without compromising quality or shelf life, hanging their pasta by hand to slow dry in cool air over the course of 36 hours.

The wheat germ pasta they produce has a stronger, “wheatier” flavor than others…almost as if someone took your usual dried pasta and turned the volume up.

Storage: Store porcini tagliatelle in an air-tight container or bag kept in a cool, dry place.

Shelf Life: Up to two years unopened, several months once opened.

Boil porcini pasta in salted water until al dente (about 7 minutes) then drain off the water and serve it with your sauce of choice. 

Porcini pasta pairs well with aged Italian cheeses (especially Parmigiano Reggiano), cream sauces and other mushrooms. 

To amp up the porcini flavor even more, why not serve this pasta tossed with fresh, frozen (& thawed) or dried (reconstituted) porcini mushrooms?  Though American porcinis are absolutely superb, we also offer dried Italian porcinis and frozen Italian porcinis for those looking to experience the flavor of their Italian counterparts.
