Comfort food takes many forms. For me, it’s a Sunday sauce. One filled with fat tomatoes and that has simmered all day, deepening in flavor, its scent perfuming my home.

Ingredients
4 large portobello mushrooms,
1 garlic head,
1 yellow onion,
peeled and quartered 2 celery stalks,
cut into thirds 2 carrots,
extra-virgin olive oil,
1/2 cup tomato paste,
2 teaspoons dried oregano,
2 cup dry red wine,
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste,
1/2 teaspoon black pepper,
12 ounces uncooked bronze-cut durum wheat tagliatelle pasta (such as Seggiano Organic),
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
Directions
Preheat broiler to low with oven rack in middle of oven. Toss together portobellos, garlic, onion, celery, carrots, and 1 tablespoon oil on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread in a single layer. Broil in preheated oven until vegetables are charred in spots, about 20 minutes, rotating pan and flipping vegetables halfway through. Let cool 5 minutes. Squeeze roasted garlic out of skins; discard skins. Transfer garlic and vegetable mixture to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, about 4 times; set aside. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add cremini mushrooms; cook until bottoms of mushrooms are browned, about 3 minutes. Stir and cook until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in roasted vegetable mixture; season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain, reserving 11/2 cups cooking liquid. Transfer cooked pasta to skillet with sauce, and return to heat over medium. Add cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in reserved cooking liquid, 1/2 cup at a time, until sauce is creamy, about 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Divide pasta among 4 warm bowls; top with grated cheese.
I actually found this recipe in a cook book that pulled recipes from different chefs. I've made it a few times over the past couple of years and every time I make it I ask myself why I don't make it more often! I love it, my husband loves it. The poached egg on top is a perfect way to bring the delicious ingredients together.

Not very clear-put mushrooms in bowl and do you add the other ingredients to the bowl or to the fennel in the skillet and then stir in Mushrooms? I wish I had crushed the fennel seeds after toasting-on the fence as to whether I’ll try again

Deliciously earthy. I especially enjoyed the mushroom conserva on crostini topped with either brie or ricotta!

You can often find storebrand Worcestershire sauce that does not have anchovies (anchovies = expensive ingredient, storebrand = cheaper without anchovies) e.g. Walmart's "Everyday Essentials" Worcestershire does not have anchovies.
