    METHOD

    Follow the package directions for rehydrating dried mushrooms in warm water. Set aside after draining.

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook rigatoni according to package directions. Return to the pot after draining.

    Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the onion, fresh mushrooms, and reconstituted dried mushrooms are soft. Cook for 1 minute more, or until the garlic and salt are fragrant. Pour in the wine and reduce it by half for a few minutes. Set aside the mushroom mixture in a bowl, reserving the skillet. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour with a spatula for a few minutes to form a roux (or paste). Continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.

    Return the reserved mushroom mixture to the skillet and cook for another minute. If using, add the sun-dried tomatoes.

    Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat. Season with pepper to taste. Serve garnished with parsley.
