Foraging in the woods

A friend stopped by the other day to deliver some fresh picked pine mushrooms and chantrelle.  Apparently in some parts of the world these are items that are very expensive and here they grow abundantly and are delicious.  
This pasta was purchased with the idea of stuffing it and baking it with cheese.  So that is what was done!
I sauteed the mushrooms, leeks, fennel, garlic and bacon.  Put said items in the food processor and proceeded to stuff the blanched but slightly cooked pasta.  It was placed in a pan covered with a fresh tomato sauce and CHEESE.....some local organic nostrala and brie.  Baked in the oven for about 10 minutes and 1 minute under the broiler and then onto the plate with salad, wine and smiles to share.

What grows naturally in your area?  Do you like to forage for your food? 

Have a magically delicious day!!!
