Making a pasta sauce is a great way to use dehydrated mushrooms, bought fresh or picked yourself. This is a very versatile condiment as you can use almost any type of mushroom. In restaurants it is often found with cream or tomato, but at home you can also make it with only white wine. Here's how to make this sauce with or without cream.
