How to Make Penne Al Funghi Porcini Pierce Brosnan's Fave

  1. Rehydrate dried porcini mushrooms in 1 cup boiling water for at least 20 minutes. Reserve the soaking liquid.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté minced garlic and chopped parsley for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the rehydrated porcini mushrooms (reserve the soaking liquid) and sauté for 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the white wine to the skillet and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.
  6. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved porcini soaking liquid for extra flavor.
  7. Meanwhile, cook penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
  8. Add the drained pasta to the sauce along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to coat.
  9. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  12. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
