Author Notes
Growing up in northern Italy, fall was a magical time of the year of changing colors and delicious, rich foods. Although the Florida heat is still relentless, I decided to celebrate the first day of fall with a recipe my mom used to make when porcini were abundant and we were having roasted meat for dinner. This side dish is delicious and, unlike most gratins, doesn't have any cream in it. —kikster80
