Don’t use portobello mushrooms for this recipe. Unless the gills are scraped off, their inky color will make the sauce dark and murky. Additionally, portobello caps are too large and thick for sauces like this one.

1 tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil
4 ouncespancetta

1yellow onion
small, finely chopped
4garlic cloves

½ cupdry white wine
1 POUNDMUSHROOMS
MIXED, SUCH AS CREMINI, OYSTER OR STEMMED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS, TRIMMED AND SLICED
1 x 14.5 OUNCCAN TOMATO PUREE
E
¼ cupheavy cream
1 ounceparmesan cheese
finely grated, plus more to serve
Instructions
Step 1
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil. Add the pasta and 1 tablespoon salt, then cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain and return the pasta to the pot.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet, combine the oil, pancetta, onion and garlic. Cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is lightly browned and the onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until the moisture they release evaporates, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the mushroom mixture to the pasta in the pot, along with the cream, ½ cup of the reserved pasta water and the cheese. Cook over medium, stirring, until the sauce clings to the pasta, 3 to 4 minutes; add more pasta water as needed so the sauce lightly coats the noodles. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with additional cheese.
