To enjoy, simply heat the mushroom ragu gently in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. It can be served as is, or you can add a splash of water or broth if a thinner consistency is desired. This ragu is excellent stirred directly into cooked pasta, spooned over creamy polenta, or used as a component in baked dishes like lasagna or stuffed shells. For an extra touch, consider finishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream.
