Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb fettuccine
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 tsp saffron thread, lightly packed
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter
4 shallots, chopped (or use red onion)
1/2 red bell pepper , julienne (optional)
1 1/2 lbs shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cups heavy cream ( i reduce this to 1 cup or less)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (i use more )
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Meanwhile, bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan and add the saffron. Remove from heat and let it infuse for 5 minutes.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 12 minutes, or until the pasta is just done.
While pasta is cooking, heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, mushrooms, peppers (optional), salt and pepper. Cook until very lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the wine and saffron and boil for 2 mintues.
Add the cream, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
If, like me, you reduced the volume of cream, the sauce may be runny. Make a slurry with a tablespoon of flour in two tablespoons water. Stir into the sauce and simmer until slightly thickened.
Drain the pasta. Toss it with the sauce, parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately in large pasta bowls.
