Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Deep-Fried Boletes: Remove the stems from the mushrooms and reserve. Cut the mushrooms into 1/2-inch slices and dip them in flour. Deep-fry at 375 degrees until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with lemon wedges.
Tagliarini al Porcini: In a saut� pan or skillet, saut� the shallots and chopped stems in butter until hazel colored. Add the lemon juice. Add the cream, salt, and pepper and cook at a very low temperature for about 10 minutes, stirring gently.
Cook the pasta in a large amount of boiling salted water until al dente and drain.
Pour the sauce over the pasta in a serving bowl. Generously sprinkle the cheese on top.
This recipe yields 4 appetizer and 4 main course servings.
Comments: Two to three Boletus edulis, weighing about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds total, are enough to provide a meal for four people. The caps are sliced and then deep-fried for an appetizer, and the stems are chopped, saut�ed with shallots and cream, and made into a sauce to serve over tagliarini.
