Great Mushroom Pasta....

This pasta is the best!  It don't get any better than this. . .

Recipe for four:
1 packet good quality dried pasta
3 slices of pancetta, chopped up
1 c onion, chopped
3 shallots, chopped
1 big handful of baby spinach
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 package fresh crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 package shitaki mushrooms, sliced
2 three finger pinches salt and pepper
1 pinch chili flakes
1 pinch cayenne
1/2 c Stilton cheese, crumbled
1/2 c cream
3 T butter
3 T olive oil

Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil.  Cook your pasta.  While that's happening, heat up a large skillet over medium high heat, add the butter and oil, when the pan's hot add the pancetta and cook until crispy.  When done, remove the pancetta and set aside, now do the same with the mushrooms and set aside.  Using the same oil add the shallots, garlic and onions and caramelize.  At this time, season with salt and pepper and add cayenne and chili flakes.  Just before serving add the spinach and melt.

When finished put the heat on low, and add the cheese, cream, pancetta and mushrooms to the onions and stir.

Drain the pasta, and drizzle with olive oil, stirring with tongs as you do.  Plate the pasta onto warm plates, then add the mushroom mixture on top.    Grate a little parmesan cheese on top...

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
