Spaghetti with Mushroom Wine Sauce

Contributed by: Melinda

This is a rich and hearty sauce, so any shape of whole grain pasta would work well. You can increase the amount of crimini mushrooms if desired.

3/4 lb whole grain spaghetti or pasta of your choice
1/4 oz. dried porcini soaked in 1 cup hot water until soft
water from soaking porcini
1-2 slices bacon or rendered bacon fat (optional)
8 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1/3 lb or more crimini mushrooms, chopped
1/2 medium onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbl tomato paste
1 tbl + 1 tsp minced fresh oregano leaves
1 cup syrah or any good dry red wine
Grated cheese for serving (optional)
Kosher salt

If using bacon, render fat slowly and set aside crispy pieces
Strain porcini pieces from soaking water (reserve water) and chop
Heat fat or olive oil in a large sauté pan and add onion
When onion has softened, add chopped crimini mushrooms
Cook pasta in salted water until slightly underdone, reserve some pasta cooking liquid in case you need it to finish the sauce - drain pasta
When mushrooms have browned and moisture has evaporated, add garlic, chopped porcini and olives
Add tomato paste and stir to coat vegetables
Add mushroom water carefully, leaving any silt in the cup
Add wine and 1 tbl oregano
Simmer for 15-20 minutes over low heat
Add cooked pasta and mix, continue cooking for several minutes for pasta to absorb the sauce
Top with 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano and crispy bacon pieces (if using) and serve hot with grated cheese on the side
