¼poundsMushrooms, fresh shiitake sl

Directions

Place flour & salt in the workbowl of a food processor. Add eggs, 2 tbs. water, and the oil. Process until dough begins to form a ball.

Remove dough and wrap securely in plastic wrap. Let the wrapped dough rest 10 min. at room temp. (Be sure to refrigerate, if not intending to use in the next 2 hrs. For best results, pasta should be used within 24 hrs.) When rested, divide into four portions and knead each through a pasta machine about 4 times, or until smooth and elastic.

Roll out the portions of kneaded dough to 1/16-in. thickness. Cut into ¼ in. strips. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the shallot and sliced mushrooms and saute until golden. Add the port and stir to deglaze pan. Add Chicken Stock and cream and reduce until thickened.
