There comes a time in every woman's life when she when she needs a little inspiration preparing a mushroom themed dinner. When that time arrives for me, I walk to my freezer knowing that there's a package of Trader Joe's Porcini Mushroom & Truffle Triangoli resting inside, waiting to add another tasty dimension to the night's dinner.
The Triangoli was a delightful find at Trader Joe's. The pasta is light and delicate. Its triangular shape holds a savory stuffing that quickly generates rave reviews from all diners without breaking the bank - an 8.8 ounce container in Joe's refrigerator case costs about $4.00 in spite of the fact that it's imported from Italy. The pasta freezes well, and I typically freeze the pieces separately and then bag them as a unit for short term storage. This is such a satisfying pasta that a few pieces go a long way!
It appears that slugs also savor the flavors of boletes!
