- 3 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup farro
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 ounces (¼ cup) mascarpone cheese

Instructions
- Bring medium saucepan to a boil, add dried mushrooms, cover, and remove from heat. (allow mushrooms to rehydrate for about 30 minutes)
- In a large pot, gently simmer broth.

- Deglaze pan with the wine and stir. Allow the liquid to almost completely evaporate.
