Chef Riccardo's Taste of the Garden: Porcini Parsley Pasta

Autumn is coming and, in many parts of Europe, that means it's mushroom-gathering season. It's a great time to get a basket of porcini mushrooms, and pair them with parsley from your garden:

Chef Riccardo makes this incredibly simple but tasty pasta to go with the wild mushrooms. You can use store-bought mushrooms, too....

Ah, Italian Parsley!

Put all ingredients into the pan (except the parsley) with a some olive oil. Saute’ for about 20 minutes.

Thanks, Chef Riccardo!
