Pierce Brosnan's Penne Pasta

Submitted by BakinBaby

"Rumor has it, this is Pierce Brosnan's favorite penne. It comes from one of Pierce's favorite restaurants, II Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in California. It has become a Watson favorite with a few of our personal changes. The recipe calls for porcini mushrooms, since I can't find them here, I use fresh portobello mushrooms. This is so simple, but so.... good."

This was a quick and delicous lunch, simple flavors that go well together. Made as written except for increasing the garlic. Made for ZWT 7 by a Food.commando

This was a very tasty dish that was quick and easy to put together. The portabella mushrooms were meaty and hearty, which gave the dish a nice depth of flavor. I will be making this again. Thanks for posting this. Made for Newest Zaar Tag Game.
