July, 2010's Recipe of the Month: Mushroom Powder Pasta

It's been a long search.  I've looked here and there and everywhere for a pasta dough recipe that incorporates mushroom powder, and at long last my perseverance is paying off. 

In his noteworthy Joe's Book of Mushroom Cookery, Jack Czarnecki suggests that mushroom flavorings can be incorporated into pasta in several ways:

"Pasta from Mushroom Powder.  A preparation popularized by Jacques Pepin, this method calls for replacing about one quarter of the flour you would normally use to prepare the dough with mushroom powder.  Again, cook the finished rolled dough in water enriched with some dried mushrooms."

"Mushroom powder pasta is delicious" Steven declares!
