Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
1 pound Italian sweet sausage, sliced in one-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound fresh wild mushrooms (portobello, chanterelles, shiitake, cremini) or a mixture of wild and cultivated
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, oregano or thyme leaves
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Rigatoni
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Soak the porcini in a bowl of one-and-a-half cups boiling water or broth for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using a heavy skillet, brown the sausage pieces. Remove them from the pan and drain them on paper towel.
  • Saute the onion and the garlic in the olive oil until soft.
  • Trim the stalks from the mushrooms. Wash off any grit under cold running water or use a soft brush or clean towel (do not soak the fresh mushrooms or they will become soggy). Slice them into one-and-a-half-inch pieces.
  • Drain the porcini through a coffee filter, cheese cloth or paper towel, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop the porcini and add them with their soaking liquid to the onion, along with the tomato paste, chicken stock and herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper and simmer gently for half an hour. If the sauce gets too thick add more stock. If it is too thin, turn up the heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring six quarts water to boil for the rigatoni. Cook the rigatoni, drain and place the pasta in a heated bowl. Pour the sauce on top and toss thoroughly. Serve immediately. Pass the cheese separately.

The pasta was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the flavors were still good.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy sausage. Next time I'll use a milder sausage.

I was a bit skeptical about the wild mushrooms, but they really added a nice depth of flavor to the dish. I'll definitely be using them again in other recipes.
