There is something about the aroma of sauteing mushrooms and onions... Mmmmm
Unlike a traditional tomato based sauce; this recipe brings the rich flavors of the mushrooms, onions and meat to the forefront. The variety of textures and rich flavors come together for a hearty topping for your favorite pasta. I heated up the leftover sauce and served alongside a loaf of sourdough bread for dipping. It was delicious!
