Ingredients:

1

Salt

4 cloves

Garlic (sliced)

Directions:

1

Heat a grill pan to high

2

Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil

3

Add salt and cook rigatoni to al dente

4

Place porcini in a small pot with about 2 cups of water

5

Bring to a boil, drop to simmer, and reduce liquid by half, 10 minutes

6

While pasta and porcini are working, pour about 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil into a small bowl

7

Use a pastry brush to coat the portobellos in extra-virgin olive oil and place them on hot grill

8

Cook until dark and tender, 7 to 8 minutes, turning once

9

Remove and let rest

10

Heat a large deep skillet with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat

11

Add shiitakes and cook a few minutes then add garlic and cook a couple minutes longer

12

Add wine and reduce a minute

13

Halve and slice portobellos then add to shiitakes

14

Scatter the rosemary into the pan and turn to distribute the herb

15

Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper

16

Stir in tomatoes

17

Remove the porcini from steeping broth with a slotted spoon and chop

18

Stir mushrooms into sauce then add a few ladles of the steeping broth

19

Do not use the very last of it: any grit in the dried mushrooms will have settled to the bottom of the pot

20

Let flavors combine for a couple of minutes more

21

Drain pasta and add to warm pot

22

Grate some Romano down over the pasta and add a few ladles of the sauce to the pasta

23

Toss the pasta and sauce to coat, then transfer to a serving platter or into individual bowls and top with remaining sauce

24

Pass more cheese at table for topping, and bread for mopping

25

Yum-o!
