That Sauce Stash soaked pasta is tricky to get right. I used to try that stuff a long time ago and sometimes it would come out well but other times the pasta would just become gooey and unappetizing. Also soaking pasta for two hours just adds to the difficulty of getting all the the timings right.
Recently I have been making my sauces initially much less liquid, and boiling my pasta in much less water, and then pouring the entire pasta with its cooking water into the sauce for the final product. Usually this is easier to make turn out well, although timing at the end sometimes requires more reducing than I plan.
My friend just gave me a few pounds of lobster mushrooms he picked. He is a trustworthy forager and I just can't wait to cook these for my dinner. I'm going to make old style maritime lobster rolls with mushrooms.
