Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 pound chitarra pasta (substitute with spaghetti)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 cups diced porcini mushrooms
6 ounces heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Cook chitarra pasta or spaghetti according to package directions. Do not rinse pasta with cold water.
