If you’re a mushroom-lover, this is the pasta dish for you. It’s chock-full of three kinds of fresh mushrooms (2 pounds of them) that contribute their own flavors and textures—meaty, hearty portobello; super savory, tender shiitake; and earthy, chewy cremini.

Spaghetti sauce is typically about a pound of browned meat bound by a scant amount of marinara and served over pasta.
