1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 (3-ounce) package whole pepperoni, sliced
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Directions:
1. Pour boiling water to cover over mushrooms; let stand 15 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving 1/3 cup liquid; coarsely chop mushrooms. Set mushrooms and liquid aside.
2. Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain and set aside.
