RAGOUT OF PEAS AND CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim garlic head about 1 inch from top, exposing cloves. Place on a piece of aluminum foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and wrap tightly with foil. Roast until cloves are soft and golden brown, about 1 hour. Unwrap, and allow to cool to room temperature. Squeeze roasted garlic out of bulb, and mix with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside.
• Tear any large chanterelles into pieces, and reserve. In a large skillet, heat remaining olive oil, and saute leeks with salt and pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chanterelles, and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add peas and a tablespoon of water if mixture looks dry. Cover pan, and cook over low heat until peas are just tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in roasted garlic mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

BUCATINI WITH CHANTRELLES, SPRING PEAS, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• If using fresh peas, parboil them in salted water for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain them and set aside.
• Trim the tough ends and wilted spots from the mushrooms. Wipe them clean, or wash them quickly and air dry them. Slice thinly and set aside.
• Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crush the garlic cloves and add them along with the prosciutto in the skillet. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, about 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the peas and chopped parsley, and cook until peas are tender, about 3 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, cook the bucatini in boiling water. Stirring frequently, cook pasta for 10 minutes.
• To serve, drain pasta, and return to pot. Add approximately 3/4 of the sauce to the pasta and bring to a boil. Season pasta with salt and pepper. Remove pot from heat and add the grated Parmesan to pasta and stir. Transfer pasta to a large platter, top with remaining sauce, and serve immediately.
