Instructions
Mushroom Dashi:
Place all ingredients in a container large enough to hold them.
Weigh down the mushrooms with a plate. Refrigerate overnight. Strain and reserve the contents to make the mushroom essence.
Mushroom Essence:
Place the strained mushrooms, ginger, garlic and scallion on a sheet pan and roast in a 350° F oven for 20-30 minutes. (Remove the Kombu Seaweed leaf.)
Add the roasted ingredients into a high speed blender along with the soy sauce and water.
Blend until a smooth paste. Add water if needed so the ingredients can blend into a paste.
To Serve:
Place the dashi in a sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and add salt and pepper.
Boil the Porcini Sacchetti for approx. 3 minutes and add to the dashi.
Add 2 cups of cleaned and chopped dandelion greens.
Arrange 8 Sacchetti in a shallow entrée bowl and ladle 4 oz. of broth and some dandelion greens over the pasta.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and 1 Tbsp of mushroom essence.
