The Star Ingredient
With packages of rigatoni and an array of mushrooms, recreating this at home is simple. Just be sure to pick up that jar of Porcini Tomato Sauce from our online market
This tomato sauce comes spiked with bits of meaty porcini and cremini mushrooms, lending it an ultra savory, almost umami taste. Italian Harvest perfects that sweet and tangy tomato sauce then takes it over the top with those slivers of dehydrated mushrooms, rehydrating as the sauce simmers to infuse it with extra fungi dimension.
