Haven't had rigatoni in quite a while. What a great idea, it really does looks nice and light. Quite different than the traditional rigatoni dishes. Love the Marsala and fresh mushroom combo!

I can't get enough of Mushrooms and this recipe looks like a recipe for mushrooms lovers around the world! My husband can't stand mushrooms, but this recipe might convince him otherwise!
I think it's important to mention that you need a good imported full bodied (dry) Marsala.
The American made are thin, light in flavor almost watery!
Also, I like to sip it will cooking with it!
