Method: Boil water and season it with a pinch of salt. Clean foraged mushrooms with a soft brush or a damp towel. Drop fresh pasta in the boiling water.

Add cleaned mushrooms to pan with the fresh thyme and a bit of salt and pepper. Let the mushrooms get some color and soften a bit, then add the black garlic and the grappa. Remove thyme. Allow the alcohol to cook off and add the crème fraiche and the cooked fresh pasta (should not take more than 3 minutes to cook, along with a small amount of the pasta water. Let the sauce come together with the pasta and taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Serve in bowls and garnish with the torn basil, marcona almonds and parmigiano.
