Directions:

STEP ONE: Wash and presoak porcini mushrooms in dry sherry, then chop.

STEP TWO: Cook vegetables in salted boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes (only
cook peas 1-1/2 minutes, no more). Drain and run under cold water. When
cool, cut vegetables, except peas and olives of course, into 1-1/2-inch
pieces. STEP THREE: In a saucepan, add 8-1/2 tablespoons butter, add the
mushrooms, herbs, and spices and cook for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and
cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cream, a pinch of
salt, and a generous dash of pepper and bring to a simmer for 3 minutes.
STEP FOUR: Melt the remaining butter and toss the freshly cooked and
drained al dente linguine in the butter until well-coated. Add the
vegetable cream mixture and toss well. Add 1/2 the cheese and toss again.
Serve immediately with a dash of pepper on top and grated Parmesan to the
side. For a tasty and colorful variation, spoon a dollop of hot marinara
sauce on the top. Tony Vallone writes of this recipe: "This pasta with
vegetable dish is many times an icebox-cleaning dish at our house, with
endless variations."
