- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil. Season with salt and pepper.

MUSHROOM SAUCE - SALSA DI FUNGHI
From: Maryanne Esposito - Ciao Italia------------ Mushrooms Sauce for pasta is a nice alternative to tomato sauce, and goes especially well with whole wheat fettucine. This is a rich dish, so a little goes a long way. This sauce makes enough for 1 lb. of pasta. For those of you that don't know Maryanne Esposito, let me introduce you to a marvelous cook, who cooks only "Authentic" Italian food, and it is incredible! I had the priviledge of meeting Maryanne at a woman's luncheon many years ago, and she has her own cooking show on Channel 11 in NH. She and her husband, who is a local doctor, live in the next town from where I used to live and work.

- 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.

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.
RIGATONI AL SEGRETO (RIGATONI WITH SECRET SAUCE)
This Rigatoni al Segreto recipe was the most closely guarded secret at Gino's, one of New York City's most famous Italian restaurants. When it closed, the recipe got out. But I think the amount of butter was way too low. So here's my version.

- Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to develop their flavor and give them a slightly chewy texture.
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will add depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil will help to bring out the flavor of the mushrooms.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the sauce over cooked rigatoni pasta.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
