- Chop the shallots, garlic, mushrooms and sage.
- Warm a saute pan to medium-high and put the olive oil in. Saute the shallots for 5 minutes, and then add the garlic. Cook for 3 minutes more before you add the button and crimini mushrooms. Let them saute till they get some colour and are soft. Add the chicken and let brown.

- Time to boil, salt the water, and then cook the pasta according to the bag directions.
- Add the sherry, 3/4 cup of the mushroom liquor (from reconstituting the shiitakes) and 1 cup of the pasta liquid to your sauteed vegetables. Add the sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Let the liquid reduce down by half on medium heat.
- Drain it and add it to the mushrooms when the pasta is done. Turn off the heat and add the cream, 1 ounce of the cheese and the truffle oil. Stir to combine.
