HEARTY BEEF AND PORCINI MUSHROOM TOMATO SAUCE
This is a variation on the classic Italian bolognese sauce, the addition of the porcini mushrooms create a rich woodsy flavor. This is a hearty sauce with lots of flavor and tastes even better the second day! For a creamier sauce use only 1/4-1/3 cup whipping cream. This sauce freezes very well.
