"This recipe by Wilma Pezzini from the Tuscan Cookbook makes a complimentary & spectacular side-dish for almost any main entree, but I think it would be esp good to accompany grilled meats when served w/salad & bread. (Times have been estimated & do not include time to soak mushrooms) Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Soak the mushrooms in the whiskey for at least 1 hour (longer if possible).
Step 2
Melt butter in a saucepan. When bubbly, add chopped parsley & garlic. Cook for 1-2 min (no more or the garlic will burn).
Step 3
Drain mushrooms & reserve the whiskey.
Step 4
Cut mushrooms in small pieces & add to the simmering parsley & garlic. Add salt & pepper to taste. Allow the mushrooms to cook for 1-2 min & then add the reserved whiskey. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered until most of the whiskey has evaporated.
Step 5
Cook spaghettini al dente (cooked, but still firm). Drain well, but reserve 2 tbsp of the cooking liquid. Put spaghettini in a heated bowl w/the reserved cooking liquid.
Step 6
Add cream to the mushroom mixture, stir to combine & allow just to heat through. Pour sauce over spaghettini & toss well. Sprinkle w/grated Parmesan as desired & serve immediately.
