Mushrooms are a simple way to add depth and heartiness to a meatless meal. They can be simmered into a beautiful rustic ragu sauce with tomatoes, garlic, wine, and fresh herbs. The low, slow cooking allows the flavors to build complexity. A sturdy pasta, such as pappardelle, is best to serve with a thicker sauce such as ragu. Topped with grated parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, and served family style in a large Barebones cast iron saucepan, ragu is a meal that feels elevated but comforting when presented at the dinner table.
