"Excellent dish! VERY woodsy, mushroomy flavor (which I love) but, be prepared if you're not a mushroom lover like me. The mascarpone is KEY here! What a nice rich flavor it brings along with the rich mushroom & wine flavors. I would quickly rinse the dried mushrooms first in cold water to get rid of any dirt or wood pieces from processing. I found that out the hard way when I just dumped the pkg. of dried mushrooms into a bowl and reconstituted them with hot water, as directed, and then dumped the mushroom water into the recipe, as directed. Several bites were gritty and I found a piece of wood! Anyway, The only negative thing I can say is that there was not enough "sauce" for me! Ha, ha! I will try to make a double batch next time to see if I like it better "drenched" in sauce. Just give me a chunk of Italian bread and this sauce and I could eat it just like that! Yum! Gracie Giada! : )
