Amount Measure    Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2    ounces dried mixed wild mushrooms -- (to 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons tomato puree
2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato paste
6    ounces thick pancetta -- (about 2 slices) or unsmoked bacon
1    onion -- peeled and minced
2    garlic cloves -- peeled and minced
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people

Place mushrooms in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 20 minutes.

Drain, reserving liquid, and chop. Mix liquid with tomato puree and paste.

Saute rind and fat from the pancetta in a small pan. Cube remaining meat.

Remove bits of rind from the pan and saute onion and garlic until golden. Add lean diced pancetta and cook a minute longer. Add chopped mushrooms, tomato-paste mixture, salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil and cook about 5 minutes until sauce is fairly thick. Stir occasionally.

Spoon over pasta, toss and serve at once.

Makes 4 servings.

The flavor of this sauce is punchy and robust. I usually serve it with fusilli. It doesn't take a great deal to flavor a bowlful so don't worry if you think there isn't enough! Serve with sliced cucumber marinated in a light vinegar dressing.
