Ingredients

  • 30 g dried porcini mushrooms
  • 250 ml vegetable broth (ready-made)
  • 150 ml Heavy Cream
  • 500 g rolls (8 rolls), preferably from the day before
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 150 g Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs (medium size)
  • Salt
  • ground pepper
  • 750 g canned tomatoes in juice
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 sprigs Rosemary
  • a pinch of sugar
  • basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Coarsely chop the porcini mushrooms with a food processor. Add them to the broth and bring to a boil. Pour in the cream and simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes. Slice the rolls into fine pieces and place them in a bowl. Drizzle the mushroom-cream mixture over the bread and let it soak for 15 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Rinse the parsley, shake off excess water, pluck the leaves from the stems, and finely chop. Grate 100 g of Parmesan. Add the parsley, Parmesan, eggs, salt, and pepper to the soaked bread and knead well. With damp hands form 12 dumplings from the mixture. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the dumplings in and let them cook at moderate heat in gently simmering water for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Meanwhile rinse and dice the tomatoes. Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the tomatoes with rosemary over high heat until they brown richly. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.

  4. 4.

    Remove the dumplings from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and let them drain briefly. Plate the dumplings with the tomato mixture. Grate remaining Parmesan over the top and garnish with basil leaves before serving.
