I can’t even begin to tell you just how amazing this is! The key ingredient in this recipe is Napa Valley Bistro - Porcini Mushroom Pasta Sauces! I strongly encourage you to use this pasta sauce because it really does make this dish. I will admit this sauce is a little pricey but it’s well worth it. This is a quick and easy recipe to put together and makes a great freezer recipe.
