Ziti with Tuscan Porcini Mushroom Sauce
4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)

3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped dried porcini mushrooms (about 1/4 ounce)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups sliced button mushrooms (8 ounces)
1 teaspoon minced fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 quarts water
3 cups uncooked ziti (about 8 ounces short tube-shaped pasta) or other short pasta
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper



Combine broth and porcini mushrooms in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with wax paper; microwave at high 2 minutes; let stand 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add button mushrooms, rosemary, salt, and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Add broth mixture and porcini mushrooms to pan; remove from heat.

Bring water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add ziti; return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, 10 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain. Stir ziti into mushroom mixture; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in cheese, parsley, and pepper.
