When I asked the owner of the shop, he smiled and explained that it was a typical, however ancient, Ligurian pasta. Of course I bought it and since then, every summer when I go to visit my parents in Liguria I do the escort through the winter.
Put the dried mushrooms to soak in warm water for about an hour and, in the meantime, boil the potatoes for about 7 minutes, since the boiling water, then peel and cut into slices about half a centimeter.
With a slotted spoon remove the mushrooms from the water, put them in a colander and rinse well, but gently under warm running water.
Do not throw the water where they were to soak the mushrooms. In a large skillet melt butter then a slice pour the mushrooms and garlic. Season with salt and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Now add the sliced potatoes and 2 ladles of water in which were put to soak the mushrooms being careful to take only the surface water slowly with a wooden spoon.
This is to avoid tilling the soil which is on the bottom.
Bake for about 15 minutes with the lid moved away adding, when necessary, still water of the mushrooms.
Now add the cream, mix well being careful not to break the potatoes and possibly even add a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Leave on for 5 minutes the fire.
Cook the Croxetti draining them al dente and let him finish cooking in the pan with the mushrooms and potatoes. Remove the garlic and add the chopped parsley.
Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil raw and a sprinkling of grated cheese.
