Time 30m

Yield 8 first-course servings, 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Italian sweet sausage sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, oregano or thyme leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound penne
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Soak the mushrooms in one-and-a-half cups hot water for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile saute the onion and the garlic in the olive oil until soft. Add the sausage and brown lightly. Drain off any fat.
  • Drain the mushroom through a coffee filter or cheesecloth, reserving the soaking liquid. Quickly rinse the mushrooms under the running water.
  • Add the mushrooms 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 penne. Cook the penne, drain and place in a heated bowl. Pour the sauce on top, toss thoroughly and serve immediately. Pass the cheese separately.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less red pepper flakes next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used veggie sausage instead of Italian sausage. It turned out great! The porcini mushrooms were the star of the show.

I'm not a fan of Italian sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It turned out great! The porcini mushrooms really made the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more red pepper flakes for a little extra heat.

I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and herbs next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time, or maybe even omit it altogether. Otherwise, the dish was very flavorful and satisfying.
