Ingredients

6 ounces medium-sized pasta such as Ruote (Wheels)
1/2 pound Chanterelles
2 tablespoons chopped roasted garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons chopped assorted herbs (such as parsley, basil, tarragon, chervil or thyme)
3/4 cup mushroom stock
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese, for grating

Instructions

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender; drain. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saute pan, add mushrooms and shallots and cook until mushrooms are nearly tender. Add roasted garlic, herbs and mushroom stock, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer to reduce liquid slightly. Add pasta and toss to coat and reheat pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
