Porcini and Sweet pepper Sauce
From the Madonna del Piatto blog and Letizia Matiacci, with gratitude. Ingredients
- 14 oz can diced tomato
- 1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in 2/3 cup lukewarm water
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 red or yellow sweet peppers, cut into 2" long by 1/2" wide strips
- 3T heavy whipping cream
- 1 # penne
Directions
- Use a shallow, thick bottomed pan with a lid over low heat.
- Soften onion and sweet peppers in 2 tablespoon EVO oil until soft and falling apart, about 30-45 min.
- When the mixture starts to dry out, add the soaked porcini with their water.
- Simmer until the soaking water is completely reduced. Add the tomato and cook for additional 10 min. until slightly thickened.
- Add cream, but do not cook it.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or basil, if desired. This sauce can be prepared ahead and frozen.
