Lion’s Mane mushrooms, also known as Pom Poms, look like large fuzzy irregularly-shaped balls. They have a meaty texture, and add a nice earthy flavor to tomato sauce. They can be simply chopped and added to sauce, but taking the time to brown them first will impart a sweeter and richer flavor.

In this recipe we like to use passata, which is an uncooked tomato sauce often sold in glass bottles. Passata, common in Europe, is increasingly available in American supermarkets, but canned tomato sauce will also work well.
