This is a really delicious meal--at least it was after I filled in the holes in the recipe! It does not tell you how much water to use, nor what to do with the reserved soaking liquid. I just used enough to cover the porcinis, and added the saved liquid along with the spag. sauce step. I used Prego with mushrooms, as we are mushroom lovers, and a nice Bordeaux wine. I used a bit less olive oil, too, since I cook with non-stick. Will make again; betting leftovers are going to be excellent, too!
