COMMENT:
Summer gardens are in bloom, and tomatoes
are all around us. I have created this simple and wonderful mushroom
sauce to use all of these magnificent tomatoes. Use my recipe for
Homemade Tomato Sauce to make this even more special.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups fresh or rehydrated mixed mushrooms including chanterelles
- 4 cups Homemade Tomato Sauce*
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup shallots, minced
- 6 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 ounce dry red wine
- salt and pepper to taste
METHOD:
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté
shallots and garlic for 5-6 minutes until garlic is brown around
the edges. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5-10 minutes reducing
any liquid by half. Deglaze the pan with red wine and add Homemade
tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 -20 minutes. Serve
over hot pasta.
*If homemade tomato sauce is not available, this recipe can be
made with canned tomato sauce. I recommend Cento brand tomato sauce
with basil.
