Rigatoni alla Boscaiola

I was craving a pasta with Italian sausage and was searching for a recipe.  I found a this one that sounded tasty in one of Lidia Bastianich's cookbooks.

I used a mix of shiitake, crimini and button mushrooms. The cream and parmigiano-reggiano added a nice richness to the sauce. This is a really easy pasta dish and one that I will definitely make again. 
Buon Appetito! 

More Campari!

Here is another yummy cocktail made with Campari.  Mix 1.5 ounces of campari with the juice of half a pink grapefruit, stir it over ice, and top with sparkling water.  Ta Da!  The flavor is amazing - bitter yet sweet with a little fizz.  A perfect summer cocktail!  Cin Cin!
