Cooking Notes

I omitted parsley and added thyme instead, using seasonal wild mushrooms in Zambia. Delicious.

Start w 1 ounce of pancetta (lost my vegetarian status) and added 1/2 oz of dried porcini which gives greater depth - also liked suggestion of adding rosemary

An addenda to the wild mushroom and tomato sauce just posted by Hazelfield; A quarter cup of heavy cream at the end, will send this sauce over the moon.

The secret of this sauce is the under-cooked, coarsely- chopped, ripe tomatoes sautéed with the mushrooms. Chopped rosemary is a good herb to add and an hour’s rest before cooking the pasta improves the flavor. If wild mushrooms are not at hand, baby portobellos are a plausible substitute.
