Chanterelles are maybe my favourite mushroom. They’re pretty hard to come by in stores but if you’ve got a reliable farmers market with a mushroom stall, you’ll find these available between May and November. They’re just magical. They’re such a delicate yet bold mushroomy flavour and their golden colour just makes any dish pop.
You can use dried chanterelles, of course, but fresh are so much better if you can possibly get hold of them.
Beware, this is just a recipe for the sauce. Before you start prepping, make sure you’ve got some good pasta made and ready to go.
