CREAMY HAM & MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, then drain. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6, then melt a little butter in a large saucepan. Fry the mushrooms for a couple of mins, then scoop out and set aside. Use some kitchen paper to wipe out the pan.
• Melt the remaining butter in the pan, then add most of the onions and soften for 1 min. Stir in the flour for another min, then gradually stir in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Increase the heat and bubble the sauce, stirring for a few mins to thicken. Turn off the heat, stir in the ham and most of the cheese, then season to taste.
• Tip the pasta and mushrooms into a large ovenproof dish, then pour over the sauce and mix well in the dish. Scatter over the remaining cheese and spring onions, then bake for 10 mins until golden.

MUSHROOMS AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Prepare the mushrooms: In a large Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add fresh mushrooms, carrots, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in grated shiitake powder and flour until mushrooms are evenly coated, about 1 minute. Add broth, 2 cups of water and thyme, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes longer. Discard thyme sprigs, and stir in cream.
• As the mushrooms simmer, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper and baking soda until well combined. In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk and butter until well blended, then add to dry mixture and fold just until a dough forms. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Drop 12 equal spoonfuls of the dough into the pot, leaving some space in between. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until dumplings are puffed and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls and garnish with chives.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS WITH SMOKED HAM

• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to same skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and next 3 ingredients. Sauté until shallots are tender, about 2 minutes. Add mushroom mixture and 1/2 cup mushroom soaking liquid, leaving behind any sediment. Cover and simmer until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally and adding more soaking liquid if mixture is dry, about 20 minutes. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.)
• Transfer mushroom mixture to serving bowl. Garnish with parsley sprigs.
• Dried porcini mushrooms are available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores, and many supermarkets.

HAM DUMPLINGS WITH MUSHROOM-ONION TOPPING

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a simmer.
• Melt butter in skillet. Add bread cubes and toss until they have absorbed all the butter. Turn heat off and add milk. Continue tossing until all the milk is absorbed.
• Blend the ham in a food processor or blender. Add bread cubes, eggs, ricotta, parsley and salt& petter to taste. Process (or blend) until thoroughly mixed. The mixture should hold together and be almost dough like.
• Sprinkle some flour on a sheet of waxed paper. Dust your hands with the flour and shape the ham mixture into balls about one-and-one-half-inch, coating each one with flour.
• Preheat the oven to 200°F.
• Carefully add the dumplings to the simmering water. Don't crowd them. (Do them in batches if necessary.) Poach at a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the top.
• As they are done, remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon to a heated platter and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest.
• Just before serving, spoon the dumplings onto individual plates and top with the Mushroom-Onion topping.
